One clinician’s view of the A-dec 500 Chair System with the EA-52 LED electric motor handpiece. I love A-dec’s equipment because I have everything I need at my fingertips without having to have messy cables and cords from all of the various instruments we require. I can’t tell you how easy it is to use and how happy I am to make the most of my equipment. Just because you buy it doesn’t mean you’ll use it. If it’s too clunky, time consuming or hard to maintain, you stop using it. I definitely use what I purchased (from A-dec)because it’s so easy to use. I started using the product when I opened my office in March of 2008. I wanted to create an efficient, state-of-the-art facility in which staff and patients could appreciate our services and the methods and equipment that help us achieve this goal. I thought this product met that criteria. I know there is a difference in my delivery of care and I can confidently tell patients that I can treat them more comfortably, quickly and with better accuracy.
Incorporating the product was easy because I built the office new. A-dec allowed me to configure whatever I wanted in my delivery system to meet the needs of different rooms. When changes have to be made, it’s pretty easy to rearrange the position and settings of the whole operatory equipment set up. I have multiple hygienists and doctors working at our office and all of them found the systems to work for them. Efficiency is really important when you are trying to keep the price of doing dentistry low for everyone. The chairs are soft, quiet and beautiful. The delivery system is easy to clean, adaptive to patient and provider. The handpiece is quiet, provides incredible visualization and consistently preps teeth at the desired setting. Although this equipment may cost more initially, it makes our jobs easier. Electric LED handpieces can prep teeth faster than air-driven counterparts and they really don’t sound as whiny, either. Our patients and our staff frequently tell me how much better our office looks and feels compared to their previous office.
I think they can tell that, by making their experience more comfortable, we care about them. I would definitely recommend the product to others because you can’t beat the comfort and efficiency that it provides.

We offer all the dentistry services you need to look great and also maintain good oral health, including the following:Dental ImplantsRoot CanalsDental Crowns & BridgesVeneersTeeth WhiteningDental Fillings & BondingDenturesGeneral DentistryBeautiful in its design, legendary in its reliability, the A-dec 500 is the dental professional’s choice in patient chairs and delivery systems in both the US and also here in Australia. Designed with extensive input from dentists worldwide, the A-dec 500 is the universal solution from general dentistry to all disciplines of dental specialists. This is a result of its superior ergonomics that have been designed around the way dentists like to work. The streamlined chair has a unique ultra-thin flexible backrest, which has been pressure point-mapped for patient comfort, while allowing unrivalled access and an upright work position for the dental operator. This is important in avoiding workplace-related musculoskeletal disorders from years of poor work posture.
The range of delivery systems offered by A-dec is unsurpassed, from the traditional delivery system, the increasingly popular ‘Continental’ control head—both of which easily convert to either left or right-handed operation—and also innovative wall-mount and ‘12 o’clock’ (off-chair) delivery systems located to the side or head of the patient. The A-dec 500 is also available as a bare chair, which is ideal for orthodontists and paediatric dentists; and can also be specified with or without cuspidor, chair-mounted light and monitor mount, or with the option of ceiling-mounted or track-mounted LED lighting. A-dec’s integrated deluxe touchpad, with built-in endodontic function and memory settings for up to four separate operators, provides fingertip control of both electric motors and air turbines, high and low-speed handpieces, intraoral cameras and ultrasonic scalers. A new 500-model stool and ergonomic foot control with ‘cruise control’ function are also available.
A-dec delivery systems allow full control of chair and light functions from the assistant’s side, and choice of high volume evacuators (HVE), suction and A-dec’s patented Triflow air and water syringe. Building on the success of the flagship A-dec 500 chair, the company has also released a range of mid and entry-level units offering the same high standard of reliability, serviceability and value, suiting different operator needs. Released in 2015, the revised A-dec 300 patient chair comes with an improved pivoting backrest design and load bearing patient armrests. This unit is popular for its space-saving delivery head and compact touchpad. The newest model in the range, the A-dec 400, borrows design features from both the flagship A-dec 500 and the more compact A-dec 300 units, introducing style at an affordable price. For dentists looking for renowned quality and reliability in an affordable entry-level package, the A-dec 200 starts at around $20,000.
