Q: Aren't all chairs the same?
A: No, Boyd has specifically designed their line of equipment for the demands of an oral surgery practice. There are many intrinsic features an oral surgeon needs to effectively practice oral surgery. Trendelenburg Positioning, Effective IV administration, solid head positioning of the patient, and full range of vertical height adjustment are essential characteristics of a oral surgery chair.
