Sirona's new MultiMotion headrest can be inclined, tilted and rotated in any chosen direction. The dentist can obtain a good view of the oral cavity and at the same time maintain a relaxed posture. For their part the patients feel comfortable and secure.
The sophisticated rotation and inclination mechanism can be operated using only one hand. The key benefit of the new headrest is that the dentist can reach virtually inaccessible areas of the oral cavity without overtaxing their back and neck muscles.
The existing motor-driven headrest model is designed for hands-free operation via the foot control. This helps to ensure effective infection control. When moving to the chosen position the headrest bears the entire weight of the patient's head, thus taking the strain off the operator.
The upper-jaw and lower-jaw positions can be programmed together with the other chair settings. This promotes efficient treatment workflow. For further information contact Sirona Dental Systems 0845 071 5040.
