Unidade Avançada para Saúde Odontológica

Developed for the Amazonas State Department of Health. The project was based on a CAIO-model bus (13.4 meters), which was converted into a modern dental clinic on wheels.

In total, the Health Department’s mobile unit can treat four patients at a time, with a total capacity of 12 people. As part of the project, Eco X installed four dental chairs on the bus—each equipped with a light-curing unit, an amalgamator, and an ultrasonic device with a bicarbonate jet.

The Advanced Unit is equipped with other application equipment, including two autoclaves; vacuum pumps (two); and ultrasonic cleaners (two). The infrastructure was fully designed by Eco X to prevent any issues, as the special bus features dual-voltage lighting (30); a water distiller; a mini-fridge; sealing machines (two); LED spotlights (six); compressors (two); air conditioning units (three); power outlets (four); a battery charger; and a pressurizing pump.

It also has two water tanks, each with a capacity of 300 liters; cabinets; and sinks with faucets. A mobile trailer attached to the bus carries the generator, which is equipped with a PLC (Programmable Logic Controller) that automatically activates the equipment when it detects that the local power grid is unavailable.

In terms of accessibility, the mobile dental unit is equipped with a key- and remote-controlled access platform for people with disabilities. Other highlights of the design include the leveling system for uneven terrain, which is equipped with four sensors that monitor the positioning of the leveling system; a retractable side awning; a tire pressure gauge (tire inflation equipment); and cables for external power supply.

Eco X’s work included developing the project concept with the client, creating a 3D design of the mobile unit, and assembling the vehicle. We have previously developed other mobile units for dental care, such as the “Ford Odontomóvel” trailer and the “Colgate Odontomóvel” van.
