What are the parts of a dental chair?

  2. Backrest: The backrest supports the patient's back and can be adjusted to different angles to provide comfort during treatment. It can also be folded down to allow the patient to lie flat.
  3. Seat: The seat of the dental chair is where the patient sits during treatment. It can be adjusted to different heights to accommodate patients of different sizes. The seat can also be tilted back or reclined to provide comfort.
  4. Footrest: The footrest provides support for the patient's feet and can be adjusted to different heights. It can also be folded up when the patient is not in the chair.
  5. Armrests: The armrests of the dental chair provide support for the patient's arms and can be adjusted to different heights and angles. They can also be folded up when the patient is not in the chair.
  6. Control panel: The control panel of the dental chair is located on the side of the chair and allows the dentist to control the position of the chair and the dental instruments.
  7. Saliva ejector: The saliva ejector is a small vacuum device that removes saliva from the patient's mouth during treatment.
