Dental illnesses and injuries occurring in the field are difficult to treat without a dental chair. We have designed a field expedient dental chair made of composite (primarily honeycomb and carbon graphite fiber) materials. The chair allows both stand-up and sit down dentistry. The chair weighs less than ten lb., Folds to a small volume, is easily cleaned and is rugged. Additionally, the device allows for easy set-up and take-down, and is fully adjustable. Patient comfort, positioning, and safety were considered in the design.
