ABSTRACT

The dental unit integrates multiple parts, including waterway, positive pressure airway, negative pressure airway, waste water discharge pipeline, and control circuit, and some optional functions are assembled by third-party accessories, resulting in a higher failure rate. The purpose of this article is to conduct a retrospective analysis of common faults of dental units, explore potential problems behind the dental units, and propose maintenance strategies for the stability and reliability of dental units, in order to reduce the failure rate and occurrence of human-induced faults. The results indicate that through retrospective analysis of common faults of dental units and targeted inspection and maintenance strategies, equipment failure rate has been effectively reduced, ensuring the safety and efficiency of oral medical work. These measures can also provide useful experience and reference for peers.
