T
he brand new A-dec 400 dental chair launched
by A-dec made its public debut at the 2013
ADIA Queensland Dental Show held at the Brisbane
Convention Centre on October 11 & 12.
The attractive new chair was the centerpiece of
the A-dec stand, one of 30 exhibitors taking part in the
show held in conjunction with the Australian Dental
& Oral Health Therapists (ADOHTA – Queensland
branch) conference.
According to A-dec Queensland Territory
Manager, Brian Gardiner, the new chair in its eyecatching plum fully sewn upholstery attracted plenty
of interest among dentists, oral health therapists,
practice managers and other visitors to the ADOHT
and ADIA CPD sessions over the two days.
The new A-dec 400 combines many of the
attributes of A-dec’s popular A-dec 500 range including
an ultra-thin and flexible ergonomic backrest design,
providing outstanding patient comfort and unrivalled
access for the dental team.
The A-dec 400 is available with A-dec’s flexible
‘Radius’ style delivery system, which means the chair
can be quickly converted from left to right-handed
operation. Wall mount and ’12 o’clock’ delivery
systems are also available, together with optional
cuspidor and choice of halogen or LED lights.
One of the biggest differences in the new chair
is its new two position load-bearing armrest design
which gives greater patient support when entering or
exciting the chair and folds neatly out of the way to
provide maximum patient access.
The A-dec 400 also features a choice of new
headrest designs, which makes it fully adjustable for
small and tall patients, allowing maximum patient
comfort and access to the oral cavity.

“Many visitors to the show and education sessions
stopped to look at the new chair and discovered it was
every bit as comfortable as it looks, and includes many
of the features which they have come to expect from
A-dec, such as outstanding flexibility and quality,” Mr
Gardiner said.
A number of Queensland A-dec dealers were at the
show and reported they were already receiving orders
for the A-dec 400, which has filled a gap between the
top of the line A-dec 500 chair and the mid-market
A-dec 300 range.
The new chair has already made an impression
internationally, with its stylish design, comfort,
flexibility and low minimum working height,
resulting in the A-dec 400 being named the 2013 Best
New Product for Women by the American Association
of Women Dentists.
