Dental Hygiene III

 

Introduction:

A dental Triturator forms the basis for this project. This project is all about the schematics that go with the Triturator and the efforts that the team has applied to make changes to this device. The changes the team have instituted are informed by a need to have a more user friendly Triturator especially for the student users who are finding it hard to cope with the existing dental triturator. The team set out with the chief objective of making a hand driven Dental Triturator. This also doubled up as the client chief concern. The other pressing objective was to make a device that was portable to be moved from one place to another. There other subsequent minor objectives that were informed by the customer needs. However, the above three were the threshold that the team needed to be able to meet. The rest of them were subject to debate based on the analysis tools. The sponsor of this project was the NAU’s Dental Hygiene (DH) Department. The department and the Dental hygiene student travel abroad to practice dental work. They are the biggest beneficiary of the project as the device is supposed to be used by their students before it goes to the rest of the world.
