Ranking of the best suction systems for dentistry for 2022

Aspiration devices are used to remove (pump out) blood, saliva and other fluids in the oral cavity.

Product design

These units consist of three components:

• aspiration device;
• vacuum generator;
• separator.

According to the type of work performed, the device can be of two types: centralized and individual use. This product has a complex design and principle of operation.

Connecting an aspirator includes many nuances. This is a technically difficult procedure.During the installation of the unit, it is necessary to take into account the location and shape of the pipes, as well as the placement of all communications. Installation and connection must be carried out by a qualified specialist. The best fit for this job is a service engineer who maintains dental equipment.

Aspirators are devices that require regular maintenance. After each working day for 15-20 minutes, the device must be washed, disinfected, and the filters cleaned. Maintenance of the product by a highly specialized specialist is carried out 1-2 times a month. The procedure must be carried out regularly.

Aspiration block

This device is called the assistant's workplace. The suction unit is considered part of the product of modern dental equipment. It is usually located at the base, behind the spitting device. In addition to devices for liquid suction, the suction unit has other functions for control (for example, raising and lowering the chair).

Many devices of independent type are produced. They are located near the installation, which is not equipped with an assistant's place. The aspiration device can be placed on a movable panel, which is attached to a special tripod or wall. The vacuum generator performs the suction function. They are equipped with all aspiration devices.

vacuum generator

These devices differ in the way they operate. They are produced in 3 types.
Air-flow or water-flow. The name speaks for itself. In this device, a vacuum is created using a stream of water or air that passes through a narrow channel at a pressure of 5.5 bar. This system is called a Venturi valve.Generators of this type are used in devices of an individual type for pumping liquid. These installations can be attributed to the middle and lower price segment.

The air-type generator has a slightly different principle of operation. In this case, a high power electric motor drives a fan, which creates the vacuum necessary for the smooth operation of the equipment. Such units are widely used. They are used in devices for individual and centralized purposes.

The third type is the water pump. Its action is based on a water turbine, which is driven by an electric motor. The vacuum is created by a jet of liquid. Simple tap water is suitable for work.

Separator

This unit is one of the elements of the entire device. It is necessary to separate the liquid and solid components of air (excluding their penetration into the pump with a gas principle of operation). All separated substances are discharged through pipes into the sewer.

The centrifuge can be placed in a variety of locations. Depending on the design and type of pumping device, manufacturers provide for its installation in the spitting apparatus unit, in the dental unit itself and separately from the entire installation.

Types of systems

Aspiration units are divided into 3 types. It all depends on the principle of operation of the vacuum generator and the location of the separator:

• air structures;
• wet functioning systems;
• mixed devices.

The air structure consists of a generator, which is made in the form of a gas-type vacuum pump. The centrifuge is usually located next to the entire structure, in the pull unit or in the plant itself.The air between the individual elements of the entire unit is communicated through special pipes.

In the wet type device, the vacuum unit is a water pump. These machines do not have a separator. The aspiration substance is fed through pipes, then mixed with water, it descends into the sewer canal.

The closed design Variosuc VC is in great demand. In this mixed type system, the vacuum generator is based on the principle of an air vacuum pump. For these units, the separator is located near the pump. Water is supplied to the centrifuge from the aspiration device through tubular channels.

The principle of operation and functioning of the aspiration unit

Near the landing site, on a universal stand, the tubes (mouthpieces) of a vacuum cleaner and an apparatus for saliva gadfly are attached. A special tip is inserted into the upper fragment of the tubes. The effect of removing saliva is due to the vacuum that is created by all of the above methods.

The aspiration suspension, which has already been cleaned, passes through the outlet and the separator. It then ends up in the sewer. If you remove one mouthpiece from the base of the holder, then all the tubes of the suction system will be depressurized. In order for saliva to pass through the selected tip, the remaining channels must be securely blocked. Units for aspiration drainage have found application in all dental offices and clinics.

The principle of operation of the centrifuge

Vacuum pumps function for a long time and reliably if the spent suspension with air mass does not get into them. The separator reliably copes with this problem. Its main component is the separation vessel.The liquid, under the influence of suction forces, enters the tank through the inlet and the filter, which separates it from the air mass. Through the outlet, air enters the pump, and the slurry (which has a heavier weight) settles to the bottom.

The low pressure created in the container by the pump or pump closes the outlet valve located at the very bottom of the canister. When the dentist puts the mouthpiece back into the holder, the throttle automatically opens and the suspension flows out into the sewer on its own. Fluid can be forced out with a pump.

A sensor is built into the container, which determines the height of the filling column, which will prevent the vessel from overflowing. If the liquid level reaches the meter, the pump stops its operation and the process of pumping out the suspension begins. When the water column drops to a certain value, another sensor is triggered and the aspiration process continues. This system has a big disadvantage, because it automatically interrupts the aspiration process, which can interfere with the operation of the patient. It turns out that the larger the capacity of the separator, the less often the work will be interrupted.

Experts believe that the best aspiration systems are the products of Cattani (Italy). The units of this brand are considered the most balanced in terms of price and quality.

The principle of operation of the vacuum generator

These devices, as mentioned above, have a different structure. Therefore, the principle of operation of different vacuum generators has its own characteristics. For example, an air dynamo has its own distinctive features. Here, the suction system starts its work immediately after being removed from the mouthpiece holder.The air hose is attached to the inlet directly from the dental unit.

If the generator is made at the factory in a standard way, then the used air masses will be removed through the muffler. To throw them out, the doctor will need to connect a special hose and take it outside. If the suction system has a centralized design, then pumps and generators of the same type are used, but the power of these devices will be much higher.

How to choose an aspiration device?

When buying this unit, you need to take into account the number of dental units in the room that will need to be equipped and provided with a vacuum outlet.

If there are many working rooms in the clinic, then it will be easier to install a centralized vacuum system. It will help to completely muffle the sources of noise in the working building, reduce the financial costs of maintenance and reduce the cost of the entire unit (each dental unit will cost less).
