Answer 1

Name and describe three pieces of equipment that make a care provider's work more convenient, efficient, and timely.

Answer:

Many devices are used by different health care providers. We are discussing here equipment used by a dental professional.

1. Dental digital radiography
2. Apex locators
3. CAD-CAM procedure

Dental digital radiography

Digital radiography- X-ray imaging technique that uses digital X-ray sensors to replace traditional photographic X-ray film, producing enhanced computer images of teeth, gums, and other oral structures and conditions.

How it saves time, make work convenient and efficient?

In a Digital x-ray, there is no need of processing it through developer solution. So, it saves patient and clinician time too.

More reliable images of tooth decay, infection as compared to traditional x-ray systems.So more efficient and convenient work.

Apex locators

Apex locators - electronic instruments used in endodontics that measure the impedance, frequency, and resistance of the surrounding material to locate the working length of the root canal.

How it saves time, make work convenient and efficient?

• Prevent error of length estimation of root canal assessed manually. Hence improve efficiency
• As it correctly estimates length, there is no need for a repeated radiograph to check the working length. It will save the time of patients and the dentist too.

CAD-CAM procedure

CAD/CAM dentistry is a field of dentistry and prosthodontics using CAD/CAM (computer-aided design and computer-aided manufacturing) to improve the design and creation of dental prostheses, including crowns, crown lays, veneers, inlays, and Onlays, fixed dental prostheses bridges, dental implant-supported restorations.

How does it help to save time, make work efficient and convenient?

• There is no need of taking impressions as it uses scanners to scan the prepared area of the tooth. So , it saves the dentist, patient time along with saving of material and laboratory work.
• A more organized way of designing prostheses.
