The sensor unit 110 is for detecting whether the patient feels pain by the operator's procedure during the treatment process.

The sensor unit 110 is provided in the headrest 12 of the dental chair 10 to detect the load or pressure applied from the head of the patient to measure the amount of change.

In general, in the case of dental treatment, the patient is placed on the seatrest 16 with the head 14 leaning on the headrest 12 provided in the dental chair 10 to receive medical treatment. In this case, when pain occurs during the procedure of the operator, the patient causes a body change in which the muscle is rigid, and when extreme pain occurs, force is applied to the head leaning on the headrest 12.

In the present invention, if the patient feels pain, the physical change occurring in the patient is used to measure whether the pain occurs in the patient and the intensity of the pain.

To this end, the sensor unit 110 is provided with a plurality of load sensors or pressure sensors to be built in the headrest 12 to measure the load or pressure applied to the headrest 12 side from the head of the patient. do.

Accordingly, through the amount of pressure or load applied to the headrest 12 through the sensor unit 110, the operator can determine whether the patient feels pain during the procedure and the intensity of pain through the amount of change when the patient feels pain. It becomes perceptible.

Thus, the operator can grasp the state of pain felt by the patient to appropriately adjust the intensity of the procedure so that the patient can be treated in a comfortable state without feeling discomfort or anxiety.

Here, the sensor unit 110 has been described as being provided with a pressure sensor or a load sensor to measure the amount of change in pressure or load, but is not limited thereto and measures the pressure or load applied to the headrest 12 side. If it can, it turns out that a variety of known sensors can be used.

In addition, the sensor unit 110 is shown and described as being installed in the headrest 12, but it is not limited thereto, but it is apparent that the sensor unit 110 may be provided in various forms such as an attachment type or a detachable type.

The verification unit 120 is for allowing the operator to check the information on the change in the load or pressure detected from the sensor unit 110. The confirmation unit 120 may be provided as a display such as a known monitor.

The identification unit 120 may display information transmitted through the sensor unit 110 on a screen as a numerical value or a graph, or a color may be changed on the screen. In other words, when the patient starts to feel pain, it is displayed in green, and when the intensity of pain is increased to a certain level or more, it is displayed in red so that the operator can easily check the condition of the patient.
