Asso. Prof. Dr. Bhornsawan Thanathornwong from Faculty of Dentistry, Srinakarinwirot University, Dental Innovation Foundation under Royal Patronage and B.K. Dental Products co., LTD jointly developed a dental wheelchair incliner platform. This project emerged to facilitate dental services to patients who need to use a wheelchair. Transporting the patients from a wheelchair to the dental unit safely requires assistances. However, with this innovation, the dentists can provide the treatment while the patients are still in the wheelchair, reducing the risk of accidents and inconvenience.
