Dental Hygiene I
Project Description:
A dental triturator is used to mix the components of dental capsules before certain dental procedures and they are usually powered by electricity. When dental hygiene students travel internationally, often times there is no electricity and/or the powered triturators are not compatible with international outlets. Collaboration between NAU’s Dental Hygiene (DH) Dept and NAU Mechanical Engineering Dept (CHHS and CEFNS) have created this Spring 2017 capstone project for 3-5 mechanical engineering students to create a human powered mixer that can shake a capsule for 10 seconds.
