Spice of Life | Questioning evolution sitting in a dental chair

Most of us have our brains wired for fear when it comes to visiting a dentist. After all, who would appreciate all the drilling, filling and billing, not to mention the invasion of personal space for having one’s mouth wide open and presenting it to the dentist who would treat it as a road under a construction project.

My last visit to the a tooth-yanker had been aeons ago to get a cavity filled and the only thing I remember from that visit is that in complete ignorance of the stretcher-like chair meant for patients, I had seated myself on the doctor’s stool prompting the dentist to exclaim, “Excuse me, That’s my seat”.

KGMU doctors innovate to weed out human interface in dental surgery

Doctors at King George’s Medical University have developed a dental technology that eliminates the need for an assistant during surgery. The innovative cheek retractor also protects the patient's eyes from harmful aerosols.

Retraction of the cheek (needed to make space for the dental procedure) and suction of saliva cannot be done by a dentist alone while performing a dental surgery/treatment in the mouth. Hence an assistant does it. The innovation was made to solve this issue and do away with the need of an assistant. (FOR REPRESENTATION)
