    The document discusses the scientific principles and construction of a dental chair, focusing on how hydraulic pressure allows small forces to generate large movements. It then provides details on preventative maintenance of a dental chair, including visual inspections, performance testing, and ensuring proper voltage, grounding, and clearance in the environment.

    Dental chair: Scientific (hydraulic) principles

    Pascal’s Principle
    the pressure in a closed container is the same at all points
    Pa = Pb

    Pressure = Force / Surface


    area
    Force Fa / Surface a = Force Fb / Surface
    b
    Therefore, a small Fa on a small surface a will
    generate a large force Fb on a large area b Suppose:
    b = 10 x a, then
    Of course: the displacement of the car will be much Fb = 10 x Fa and
    smaller than the displacement of cylinder a …. displacement of b = 1/10 x displacement in a.
    (you will be 10 times stronger, 10 times

    slower) Maintain a dental chair
    Dental chair: Construction: Pedestal
    Pedestal and Base Motor Assembly
    the base motor is located on the rear of
    pedestal in the chassis assembly.
    the pedestal can be rotated 360 degrees by
    releasing the manually operated lock that is
    located on the doctor's side of the chair at the
    base of the pedestal.

    The purpose of the base (lift) motor assembly is to raise and lower the chair. This is done by using:
    (1) the foot switch on the pedestal or
    (2) the doctor's lower-most switch
    Which lowers the chair to the exit position. You cannot raise the chair with this switch.

    Dental chair: Preventive Maintenance (once per year)
    Visual inspection of:
    1) mounting brackets, arm rests, supports and pedestal frames: make sure that these are securely attached,
    operate correctly and have adequate strength to support the patient
    2) control knobs, mechanical locks and levers: make sure that these are securely attached
    3) nuts, bolts, screws and other hardware to be tight and in good condition
    4) electrical connectors (jacks, receptacles and plugs) to be free of cracks, breaks, and properly attached
    5) cables and cords will be free of splices or frayed insulation
    6) cables, clips, studs and terminals will be free of dirt, dust, corrosion, and will not be worn
    7) the grounding system will be of an approved type, properly installed and functional
    8) switches, circuit breakers, fuse holders, and indicators will be free of dirt, dust, corrosion and not worn
    9) all solenoids will be mounted securely in place and will have acceptable lead dress
    10)all electrical components will be properly mounted and will operate without overheating
    11)all hydraulic fittings will be tight and free of leaks

    Dental chair: Preventive Maintenance (2)
    Performance testing factors
    1) Indicators such as pilot lights shall operate correctly as specified by the manufacturer’s operating manual
    2) Appropriate specific responses of the user controls
    3) The ground impedance from chassis to power connector will not exceed 0.1 ohm
    4) Leakage currents will be measured in the following modes: a. power off b. power on where possible each
    mode will be tested with the line cord attachment: c. properly grounded d. ungrounded, correct polarity e.
    ungrounded, reversed polarity. The measurements will be taken from chassis and controls. The power-on
    and power-off measurements will be the combined AC and DC instrument leakage currents.

    Environmental Inspection factors


    1) The electrical distribution will be inspected and tested to insure that:
    a. Voltage level is adequate. b. Receptacle polarity is correct c. Receptacle ground is present d.
    Receptacle has mechanical integrity
    2) Mechanical clearance between the dental chair and other instruments, apparatus and devices
    3) Shelves, cabinets
