A dental operatory light is a surgical task light that is used for oral cavity illumination during a dental examination, treatment, or surgery. Dentistry usually encompasses a broad range of practices related to the oral cavity. A wide variety of dental procedures are carried out by dentists, oral hygienists, dental technicians, and dental therapists. These procedures range from the restoration and replacement of teeth, correction of mal-positioned teeth and jaws, extraction or surgical removal of teeth, scaling and root planning, endodontic root canal treatment, preparation and implantation of teeth, cosmetic dentistry to oral and maxillofacial surgeries.
Providing optimal visual conditions is critical to every dental practice. In any dental office or surgical room, local task lighting is a crucial part of the lighting scheme for the space. Dental operatory lights are specifically designed to support the task needs. They provide a bright, focused beam of light to illuminate the task area so that dental professionals can visualize their work with complete accuracy.
