Machinery/Technology in Dental Office?
What kind of technology or machinery is used in the dental office for basic procedures (such as fillings,cleaning, extractions, crowns, bridgework, dentures, etc..)
If you're familiar with any of them, please let me knowww....
Will give you a Best Answer ...thanks
X-Rays: Panoramic X-ray machine, digital x-ray machines, film developer for old school x-ray machines. Some of the digital machines even allow the pictures to be loaded directly into the patient's file.
Orthodontics: Digital camera, cephalometric analysis software, software that allows some image manipulation to predict outcome...
Fillings: Highspeed and slowspeed handpieces (run under air pressure, I think), UV light to cure composite resin restorations, triturator to shake up and mix amalgam
Cleanings: Ultrasonic cavitron to vibrate away calculus
Endodontics: Chairside microscope, apex locator, pulp vitality tester, motorized rotary handpiece, "oven" to heat gutta perca points (the stuff that goes into the tooth to seal the canals), tool with heated tip to push gutta perca down canal
Perio: Electrocaudery machine, laser
Extractions: X-rays are taken, but simple procedures are usually just done with forceps. Sometimes slowspeed handpieces are used to drill into bone if necessary. Highspeeds aren't supposed to be used to drill bone, since there is a small chance they could cause an air embolus.
Crowns and bridges: CAD cam machine...the above poster described this well...the tooth is scanned into a computer, and then milled automatically right there.
-I think there's a little machine out there that dispenses impression material into the impression tray at the push of a button, instead of having to use the gun.
Dentures: Machines for sanding the impressions, and I think there's one that blasts the stone away near the end of the process, but this is usually done offsite at a commercial lab.
Sterilization: Autoclave...I think our dispensary has some sort of steam machine too, but I'm not sure.
Other: There's a vaccuum machine that's used to make mouthguards and stents. You put a square sheet of plastic into a frame, then lift it so it is held under a heater. An impression of the teeth sits underneath on a vaccuum platform. When the plastic is soft, the frame is lowered onto the impression, and the vaccuum sucks it down so that it fits tightly. The whole process takes about 30 seconds.
...And I guess you can't forget the chair, which has a high volume suctioner, low volumer suctioner, air/water syringe, light, foot pedal to operate the handpieces, and console for the operator to reposition the patient! Some offices have tv screens or video games on the ceiling too...but somehow I don't think this is the kind of dental technology that you're interested in. 
If you are interested in any of these in particular, I would suggest looking up dental suppliers who would probably be thrilled to send you oodles of product information. If you want to see some even cooler stuff that's used offsite, find out where your own dentist sends his labwork and see if you can arrange a tour. You would be surprised at how much is done by hand though!
