Iordanoglou had no trouble getting
to grips with her new Planmeca
Compact i. “All the instructions,
everything was on a USB stick, which
made the learning process very easy.
I also work with an assistant, and she
was very excited when we switched
to Planmeca. It’s so very nice, and
certainly different from the old one."
Terzidou agrees: “There are no
complex systems as with other dental
units”, she explains. “Sometimes when
you have an assistant or nurse who
is unfamiliar with a device, it can be
difficult to teach them how to use it,
but with Planmeca dental units you
just don’t have this problem.
They are very easy to use.”
PERFECT FROM THE BEGINNING
A dental unit is more than just patient
comfort or easy instructions – for
the dentist, it is one of the most of
26
important tools of the trade.
At the same time, the nature of
their work necessitates that dentists
sometimes remain in demanding
working positions for extended
periods of time. This demands
a lot of the ergonomic solutions
and movement range of the unit.
For both Iordanoglou and Terzidou,
however, the Planmeca Compact i
units have risen to the challenge. “It’s
very ergonomic for the dental nurse
as well as for my way of sitting and
working”, Terzidou commends the
unit. Meanwhile, Iordanoglou has
been particularly pleased with the
lighting: “I really like the operating light is just as satisfied with her equipment.
– it’s very focused and intense, which
makes it easy to work with.”
Still, for Terzidou, perhaps the most
valuable feature of the unit has been
its user-friendly design which enables
easy access to the patient.
“It’s the cut of the chair”, notes
Terzidou. “The whole shape of
the dental unit allows the dentist to
get very close to the patient’s mouth
and to work easily around them.
For me, this is the most important
consideration, because as dentists
we live in our practices half of
our lives.”
As a result, in both Katerini and
Athens it looks like the Planmeca
Compact i units are there to stay.
“I’ve had my unit for a while now and
had no problem at all learning to use
it”, says Iordanoglou. Terzidou, who
has been using her units for 15 years,
“I’ve never had a bad day at work
because of my units."
"That means that the technology
has been perfect since 2003
– not only now.” ▟
