A portable dental unit or delivery system is a portable, mobile unit
that can become a complete, fully-functional dental office in a matter
of seconds. These units help dentists practice at locations that do not
have the required facilities like clean water or compressed air.
These units come with self-contained water, compressed air and vacuum
systems so that the need for on-site plumbing is completely eliminated.
The possibility of infections is also minimized with the use of clean
water from the system. The units come with a clean water bottle and a
drain water bottle. A sizeable air tank provides air for the various
dental procedures. All the dental instruments are contained within a
carry case that has wheels, making the whole unit extremely portable.
Some of the dental instruments found in the dental delivery system
would include an ultrasonic scaler, a 3-way syringe, a saliva ejector, a
2 or 4 hole hand piece, a LED curing light, a compressor head with
sufficient power, a fiber optic handpiece, an on/off foot switch, a
mobile patient chair, a mobile dentist stool and an operating light.
Traveling dentists and health care personnel can use these systems at
any location very effectively for a wide variety of dental procedures.
The units can also be used in nursing homes and private care homes.
Apart from their use in medical facilities, these portable dental units
can also be used effectively in various other locations which are far
removed from proper health care facilities. Missionaries working in
remote mission fields in third world countries often minister to the
needs of locals that need medical attention. These portable dental units
can be extremely useful in such areas for qualified health care
personnel to provide medical relief to patients.
The battle
field is another area in which dental delivery systems can be of
tremendous use. Soldiers injured in battle can be immediately attended
to using a portable unit that has the required instruments for basic
medical aid.
Sometimes, vacationers in camping sites and
wilderness regions might also need medical assistance during
emergencies. Dental delivery systems can be of tremendous use in such
circumstances.
Therefore, these portable dental units not only
help dentists attend to patients within the confines of a medical
facility, but also in remote regions far removed from medical care, and
sometimes from civilization itself. The importance of these units can
never be overemphasized as they are of vital importance in the medical
field for a wide variety of medical procedures.
