Various components and parts of a dental unit can fail, which can affect the functionality and efficiency of the unit. For example, some of the most common problems include broken handpieces, which are essential for dental treatments. This can be caused by wear, damage or malfunction. The tubes that carry the air and water for the treatment can also leak or crack, which can lead to a loss of performance.

Furthermore, problems can occur with the control unit that regulates the various functions of the treatment unit. This can lead to malfunctions in the adjustment of speed, pressure or temperature. Electrical problems such as short circuits or defective cables can also occur and paralyze the entire unit.

The upholstery and paneling of the treatment unit can also show signs of damage, whether due to wear, tear or dirt. This can not only affect the aesthetic appearance, but also compromise hygiene and comfort for the patient.

In addition, smaller components such as foot switches, lighting systems or faucets can also become defective and need to be replaced. It is therefore important to carry out regular maintenance and inspections to identify and correct potential defects at an early stage to ensure smooth operation of the treatment unit.
