Historically, we know that humans came
to need oral health care when they first started to use fire for cooking.
To enable painless dental treatment - a dream of human beings since
our first fire-cooked meals - a number of technical achievements have
been realized by MORITA since its inception. The MORITA Group developed
and released "Air Jet" in 1960, a 300,000 rpm super high-speed
handpiece, and later "Astron," a 500,000 rpm super high-speed
air turbine handpiece with air bearings, dramatically alleviating
patients' pain and discomfort during treatment. In 1964, MORITA developed
a horizontal position treatment system, which allows patients to lie
on their backs and dentists to remain seated during treatment. This
system was the world's first of its kind, and its hardware and software
have become the world standard. In 1966, MORITA launched a dental
laser system to enable almost painless dental surgery. All of these
products were developed in response to the health care needs of society;
in other words, the voices of dental patients. MORITA will continue
to steadily address various issues concerning preventive dentistry,
highly advanced medical/dental technology, medical/dental care for
the elderly, informed consent in the information age, aesthetic dentistry,
infection control etc., in close partnership with dental and medical
schools and laboratories throughout the world. In order to provide
patients, dentists, dental assistants and other clinic staff members
with a hygienic, comfortable and efficient dental clinical environment.
We will continue to direct our efforts to developing a human-centered
clinic system and space planning, comprehensively involving a reception
counter, waiting room, dental treatment room, dental technician's
room and staff room. We believe that there will be a growing demand
for the development of a system to help establish network clinics
by integrating in-clinic LAN systems in response to the needs of the
information age. |
