Overview

The dentist's offices are designed to be comfortable, private, and relaxing for all of the patients. One can see some universal equipment here to fulfill the needs of the dentists. First of all there is a dental operatory or dental unit system contains armchairs with hydraulic lifts, sterilizers, x-ray equipment, an instrument holder, and handpieces used for drilling and cleaning. Some of them may be equipped with intra-oral cameras and wireless video imaging. Proper illumination is required to detect any changes in oral cavity, so dental lamp can be focused to show all parts of the mouth. Next to the chair there is a small table for the trays with all sorts of the tools. Dentists use the following instruments: an excavator for removing soften dentine or plaque and temporary fillings; straight forceps - for extracting incisors and canines; S-shaped forceps - for extraction of premolars.
