Abstract

Abstract: In order to improve the comfort of dental patients in the dental chair, with the dental chair as a research object and ergonomics as the theoretical basis, the dental chair is modeled and simulated with the digital human by the software Jack. Emulating the main components of the dental chair of different sizes, such as the seat, back, head support and armrests, the comfort change of patients is analyzed, and the improvement design put forward. The result shows that a new designed dental chair model which fits the physical size of Chinese patients more perfectly can be built by redesigning the basic sizes of the dental chair, and the comfort of dental patients can be improved.

Key words: dental chair, digital human, comfort, Jack software, ergonomics
