Are you a professional dentist? Have you recently graduated and are planning to set up a dental clinic? If the answer to these questions is YES, then the first and most important thing that you should be aware of is dental lighting. It’s because, without lighting, dentistry is impossible. Not only this, but you need proper lighting in your dental clinic.
When looking for a dental surgical lamp, there are many factors to consider. One of them is how you use the lamp, whether it should be mounted or portable.
Different dentists use different lamps, suitable for their requirements. It means there isn’t anything specific. To make the selection easier for you, we will discuss both mounted and portable surgical lamps in detail.
About mounted dental surgical lamp
Mounting doesn’t mean just on the wall. You can mount the lamp on a tabletop or the ceiling along with the wall based on the physical features and layout of the operating room.
With the mounted dental surgical lamp, dentists find it easy to work because it supplies a particularly condensed light beam. Also, it doesn’t require much time and effort for positioning. As these lamps are almost fixed to a place, you don’t have to spend much time in preparation. They can straightaway start the surgery.
Other than this, the mounted lamps provide a very clean and professional appearance as well as give a sense of permanency and trustworthiness.
Talking about the disadvantages, the mounted dental surgical lamps lack flexibility. They will provide a good amount of light during a light but adjusting them as the requirement will not be possible because they are fixed.
With mounted lamps, mounting should be very accurate and at the right height for perfect lighting. Or, you will have to adjust the patient on the exam chair carefully.
About portable dental surgical lamp
The look of the portable lamps will be like the head of the wall and ceiling-mounted surgical light. But, the difference will be that these lamps will be mounted on a stand with wheels.
The portable dental surgical lamps are battery-operated. You don’t need any electric connection for the same. With portable lamps, you can move throughout the facility. You don’t have to adjust your patients according to the beam of light. This will ensure comfort-ability to the patients and they will feel relaxed during the surgery.
The best thing is portable surgical lamps can be used as the sole lighting source during the procedure because they can be moved and adjusted as required.
Talking about the disadvantages, portable dental surgical lamps can come on your way while performing the procedure. And thus, you will have to spend time adjusting them for the perfect view. Other than this, the portable lamp might not be available when you need it because it can be kept anywhere by you and your staff members.
We already said that there isn’t anything about the type of dental surgical lamps. So, analyze your requirements before buying.
