Basic equipment of a dental office
can be divided into two groups: technological and office.
What is included in the equipment of a dentist's office?
The equipment of the dental office is divided into main and auxiliary. The equipment that is necessary for carrying out treatment, namely a dental unit, a dental chair, a doctor’s chair, an assistant’s chair, and a doctor’s manipulation table is the main equipment.
Auxiliary equipment includes many devices for performing specific medical procedures - a diathermocoagulator, an apex locator, a photopolymerization lamp, an amalgam mixer, etc.
In addition, the dentist’s office includes sterilization and disinfection equipment - a dry-heat sterilization cabinet, a glass-perlen sterilizer, a table for sterile instruments, a quartz irradiator, a fume hood for working with amalgam, etc.
Furniture and equipment for medical staff are also needed. The nurse's work equipment consists of a table for working with documentation, a cabinet for storing it, a computer, and a chair. The office equipment additionally includes sinks for washing hands and equipment, containers with disinfectant solutions, cabinets for storing documentation, medicines (toxic and potent) and sanitary equipment, couches, chairs for patients.
When opening a dental clinic with an expanded range of services provided, additional diagnostic and treatment equipment will be required - tomographs, portable X-ray units, intraoral visiographs, equipment for the treatment of oral diseases, etc.
In the reception area, it is necessary to install furniture with comfortable sofas and armchairs for patients waiting for an appointment, as well as an administrator desk, cabinets or racks for outerwear.
Technological equipment of a dental clinic
Technological equipment includes dental units and installation technology; in addition, regular purchases of consumables, filling preparations and tools for work are necessary.
Basic equipment of dental clinics (types):
Dentist chair
We are talking about a dental unit - a chair for the patient; not a single dentist can do without it.
Such professional dental equipment
varies by drive type. Mostly models with hydraulic or electromechanical drive are sold. Typically, the installation is equipped with at least 4 hoses:
- for a gun (spray, water or air is supplied);
- for a micrometer (determining crown thickness and other manipulations in dental practice);
- for ultrasonic scaler (removal of stones and plaque);
- under the lamp.
- Also, any dental unit is equipped with a set of different tips for all types of work.

The cost depends on the configuration and quality of the materials from which the equipment is made, as well as on the functionality and modification of the electronic filling.
Visiograph
This is equipment that allows you to take the most accurate picture of a tooth. The picture immediately appears on the computer screen to which the visiograph is connected. Radiation is minimal. Prices for various visiographs start from 150,000 rubles. There are models for 400,000 rubles and above. Differences:
- Cheap models have a CCD matrix, which does not give a very clear image.
- Expensive models have an image sensor with greater sensitivity, so you can enlarge the image without losing its quality.
- A regular visiograph allows you to take a picture of 3 teeth at once, and more advanced models take periapical (sighting) and bitewing (occlusal) pictures.
Dentist's chair

Sanitation equipment
Full list of dental office equipment
There must be two sinks:
- For hand disinfection.

Dentists use a huge amount of equipment in their practice; the contra-angle handpiece is one of the necessary tools for a dentist’s work.
The dental handpiece gets its name from the fact that it is shaped like an angle. The contra-angle handpiece itself has a standard connector according to ISO 9001 and fits directly onto the dental micromotor, which, based on its energy production, is divided into 2 types: air (less powerful) and electric (powerful).
How to choose a contra-angle handpiece:
When choosing a contra-angle handpiece, the dentist must understand for what type of work the instrument is being purchased and what power is required for this.
Let's take a look: - Therapeutic tips
(blue marking) with a gear ratio of 1:1 (the motor speed matches the bur speed), this handpiece does not require a high rotation speed, so an air micromotor is suitable. Tips with a 1:1 reduction are most often produced with or without an internal spray (cooling).
— Boosting tips
(red marking) with a gear ratio for example 1:5, 1:4.5 (bur rotation speed is several times higher than the motor rotation speed), this handpiece is used in most cases by orthopedic doctors; for a contra-angle handpiece with an increase, you need to purchase a powerful electric micromotor. You can buy an angular raising handpiece only for burs for a turbine handpiece with a diameter of 1.6 mm. The booster tip is only available with an internal spray (cooling) system due to the high output rotation speed (up to 200,000 rpm when using an electric motor).
— Reduction
tips
(green markings) are used with micromotors that have a reduction gear ratio, for example 4:1 ... 20:1. The lowering tip is only available with an external spray (cooling) system.
Also, contra-angle tips can be without backlight, or have light and are divided into:
— Angular handpiece with fiber optics — the presence in the dental unit of a power board from which light energy is generated
— Contra-angle handpiece with a light generator - the presence of a generator in the handpiece, which converts energy and turns it into light.
The heads of contra-angle handpieces come in different sizes - from miniature (used in endodontics) to large (used in orthopedic work).

Main characteristics of dental equipment
Before you buy dental equipment, you need to consider several nuances:
- The equipment must be of high quality and reliability in order to last for more than one year without constant repairs.
- Requirements for the level of dental care are constantly growing, so it is better to provide for the possibility of modifying existing equipment and installing additional instruments and devices
- The equipment must correspond to the range of services provided and the level of the clinic, i.e. targeted requests of potential clients
- In terms of its technical capabilities, the equipment must correspond to the qualifications of a dentist or be slightly better than today’s capabilities of a doctor.
Expensive models of dental equipment significantly increase the speed of work and the quality of service in the clinic, but it is inappropriate to buy a multifunctional unit and not use its full potential.
There is no equipment that would last forever, and any equipment periodically breaks down or exhausts its resource. Proper operation, competent care and professional regular maintenance of the equipment will help reduce the number of repairs and extend the life of dental equipment. At the same time, when buying well-known and popular models of equipment, you can be sure that there will always be parts and components for their repair and maintenance.
It is much more profitable to buy dental equipment in St. Petersburg and Moscow directly from the manufacturers. Darta is a major manufacturer of high-tech dental equipment at the European level. Thanks to its own production base and the excellent quality of the materials used, the company guarantees high quality and reliability of dental units, furniture and components, as well as affordable prices for its products.
