1993 | Object # 2024.002

In the 1960s, the A-dec company helped revolutionize the dental industry by developing products designed for “sit-down” dentistry. The equipment alleviated many health problems associated with prolonged standing and created a more stable and effective work station for lengthy dental procedures.

By the late 1970s, A-dec was manufacturing dental chairs to further improve dental ergonomics. This example from 1993 represents the 8th generation of its state-of-the-art dental chairs.
