Abstract

A dental work station designed to position the dental assistant's instrumentation and the dentist's dynamic instrumentation in an efficient location to deliver dental instruments to the respective operators in the best position in relation to the patient for both the comfort of the patient and the ease of the operators is shown. Due to the unique design of the work station, the instrumentation of both the assistant and the operator can switch from a left-handed to right-handed and reverse itself in a matter of seconds, thus making it a completely ambidextrous unit. The unique arrangement of the overhead structure allows the dentist's dynamic instruments to be efficiently delivered to the dentist without interfering with the dental assistant's equipment. In addition, the overhead structure houses both the astral operating light and the general light fixtures to provide optimum lighting for the operators. The overhead structure also contains a plurality of pipe chases to deliver essential dental utilities from the utility junction box located in the base of the service cabinet to the dentist's instruments. As added equipment there may also be provided a television monitor, a video cassette recorder and a computer for use during the operation of the dentist. This work station with all of its features leaves the dentist's chair completely unencumbered with great allowances for any type of operating position, thus making it a completely self contained dental operating unit.
