The dental chair should provide good sitting support and comfort, adjusting the seat height, backrest Angle and headrest position to ensure that the patient is comfortable during treatment.

(1)Chair design: The shape and size of the dental chair should be suitable for the body type of the patient, especially the shape and size of the seat and backrest. The seat should have enough support, and the backrest should be able to adjust to different sitting needs.

(2)The adjustability of the chair: the dental chair should have enough adjustability to adapt to different patient sizes and sitting positions. For example, the height and tilt of the seat and backrest should be adjustable, and the armrests should be movable and adjustable.

(3) The material of the chair: The material of the dental chair should meet the health and safety requirements, but also consider comfort.

The design of the instrument plate also has a distinction between down-mounted instrument tray type,top-mounted instrument tray type, and the trolley type.

The material has an important impact on the quality and durability of the dental chair, which directly affects the service life of the dental chair. The following are several aspects that need attention:

(1)Corrosion resistance: The material of the dental chair should be corrosion resistant and able to withstand the test of routine disinfection and cleaning. Stainless steel is a commonly used corrosion-resistant metal material, which is widely used in the manufacture of dental chairs. Aluminum alloy is also a corrosion-resistant material, but its strength and hardness are relatively low, so it may not be suitable for the manufacture of all dental chair components.

(2)Strength and stability: The material of the dental chair should have enough strength and stability to withstand the weight and pressure of the patient. Metal materials such as stainless steel and aluminum alloys have better strength and stability, while plastic materials may be relatively fragile. When choosing a dental chair, the mechanical properties of the material should be considered to ensure the stability and reliability of the dental chair during use.

(3)Safety: The material of the dental chair should be harmless to the human body and will not affect the health of patients. Metal materials are generally considered safe materials, while some plastic materials may release harmful substances such as phthalates. When choosing a dental chair, the composition and safety of the material should be considered to ensure the health and safety of the patient.

(4) Aesthetics: The material of the dental chair can also affect its aesthetics. Different materials have different appearance and texture, such as the cold sense of metal materials and the soft sense of plastic materials. When choosing a dental chair, you should consider the appearance and texture of the material to choose a dental chair that meets your needs and tastes.

7.Choose a Low Noise Dental Chair:

High noise dental chairs may make patients feel uneasy and fearful, further exacerbating anxiety and tension during treatment. The low noise dental chair can reduce the patient's noise interference, thereby reducing the patient's fear and anxiety. At the same time, it also makes it easier for doctors and patients to communicate effectively and improve treatment efficiency.

In general, hydraulic dental chairs are usually quieter than traditional electric dental chairs. Because the power system of the hydraulic dental chair transmits pressure through hydraulic oil, the hydraulic dental chair generates less noise during operation than the motor drive of the electric dental chair.
In addition, the control system of the hydraulic dental chair is usually more precise and sensitive than that of the electric dental chair, which can better control the pressure and speed, thus reducing the noise caused by rapid movement or sudden stop.
