Introduction
Like most arts and skills in human society, architecture is based on certain principles and values. These principles and values ​​originate from the type of thinking and cultural values ​​that govern society, and at the same time are influenced by environmental and climatic conditions, economic conditions, political issues, and more. The hasty trend, out-of-standard development, and indifference to the principles of architecture have led to a profound change in dental clinics in most cities of the country. In this situation, these clinics, especially newly built clinics, suffer from significant problems in terms of aesthetic and physical features, so that they can not meet the physical and material needs and provide a calm and comfortable atmosphere for Do not have patients. In this article, we examine the challenges and problems of architecture and planning in the design of dental clinics in Tehran, which is one of the challenges of the health care system. Then, models are presented that are used in the dental clinic and new sciences and developments while maintaining the dignity of patients and staff.
The cost of building a dental clinic is huge. Therefore, project management and design in a set are essential. Minimizing project and staff costs should be a priority. The design project includes intensive consulting with clients, dentists, engineers, architects, designers, and medical professionals in the early stages to eliminate the risk of undesirable investment decisions and unwanted increases in operating costs. The importance of collaboration between architects, engineers, managers, and technicians cannot be overemphasized. After designing the whole project, the interior design should be designed for a dental clinic and a suitable place for services, engineering systems, and medical equipment should be considered.
Throughout history, architecture and urban planning have played an important role in the social life of citizens, and human beings have always tried to dominate the environment to achieve peace and stability. However, such dominance does not exist in dental clinics. And there are cuts and separations between spaces, so the sense of belonging to space and space is gone. Now, if the psychological security of staff and patients in a dental clinic is considered as one of the basic aspects of architecture and how to build a dental clinic, we understand that the role of architectural design in today's dental clinics is confusing, chaotic and confusing.
If dental clinics want to change, this change should start with universities, dental schools, and the dental education system. The Dental Clinic is a medical center that specializes in several areas of dental health. Specialization among dentists has paved the way for the creation of medical and diagnostic centers that provide a wide range of services. The advantage of this center is reducing the patient's waiting time and better access to diagnosis and treatment, without visiting a doctor. The advantage of dental centers is the allocation of more regular working hours and the possibility of exchanging and benefiting from the experiences of other dentists.
The mentioned items need a suitable space, which is designed according to the consumer's needs. Proper size and layout of spaces can greatly help meet customer needs. Designing such projects requires intensive consultation with clients, dentists, engineers, and specialists in hospitals and clinics, and therefore, if this design takes a long time, it is not uncommon.
Before designing any type of material should be considered characteristics. If you're just saying, "Dental centers need to have a special space for dentists to function perfectly because of their nature and content," we're talking incomplete. The space of a dental center is simply not a place where a container can function with the specific functions of dentists, and its design is not limited by the equipment, furniture, and function of dentists between several walls. In a complete design, creating a desirable and efficient environment is multiple interactions between the constituent elements of a space, meaning the individuals and objects associated with space and the function for which space is intended. Each creates several different shapes in its proper shape. From this perspective, the characteristics of the dental clinic are as follows:

 

• A safe, beautiful and clean building
• An innovative, exciting and accessible environment for patients and staff
• Flexibility in the face of future changes in physical relationships, materials, equipment over time and by international standards
• Competition in energy efficiency (pay special attention to the choice of heating and cooling materials and systems).
• Easy physical access for people with disabilities.
• Ability to meet the physical and spiritual needs of patients.
• Quick and easy access to urban street networks and public transportation

 

You may have heard that a dentist in Berlin was able to turn his clinic into the happiest place on earth. At this clinic, patients forget their fear of pain and can even have fun. The waiting room is designed in orange, beautiful chairs, eye-catching paintings, and a beautiful fireplace. While in the waiting room, patients can use the Internet, not think about their pain and stress, and can have fun with various video games. The medical staff spends many hours in the clinic, so interior design is very important for creating a happy mood for them and their patients. Patients usually spend some time in the dental unit, so the design can be effective in assessing their clinic environment. Also, interior design is effective in maintaining a happy mood and reducing fatigue and long-term boredom in a closed environment.
Principles of designing a dental clinic
In general, dental clinic spaces are divided into four sections, including customer space, office space, main space, and procurement and support.
Apart from customer spaces, all rooms should be located in a safe area (away from any contamination). These spaces are not limited to large clinics, and all dental clinics must have such large-scale areas. The number and type of clinics are determined by the population covered and oral health care policies. The treatment room or space must be equipped with the right tools
Diagnosis and treatment may be performed in a room equipped with a dental unit. Sometimes, office work is done in the same space. However, these functions must be physically separated from the medical department. Depending on the type of design chosen, by placing an office area with a partition, this space should be the size of a wheelchair or a stretcher. When a treatment space is usable for everyone, even people with disabilities, it can be said that architectural design has perfect features. Incorporating at least one enclosed office space helps meet specific needs or anxiety in patients
Border in design
single room
In designing a single room, all the services and equipment needed to diagnose and treat each other are integrated. When will a single room be allocated:

 

• There are only two seats for amenities
• A dynamic space can enhance the quality design
• The dental clinic should create a personal space between the dentist and the patient.

 

In general, each non-medical dental office should be equipped with 4 completely separate spaces. The first part should be given to patients visiting the dental office. Patients have different age ranges, but it is only necessary to separate the children's waiting room from the adult. For the child's waiting room, you can use pictures and children's favorite characters in the form of posters on the walls or put toys for children in it.
In this environment, children will be by the side of their peers away from the noisy environment and the complaints of adults, and they will be more comfortable with their fears and worries when they see their peers who have come to the dentist's office.
A suitable space should also be considered for the office secretary, who is responsible for accepting patients and archiving files. The reception area should be such that the clients can be on one side and the office staff on the other side, and at the same time the clients can be standing, sitting) for the disabled and physically disabled (talking to the office staff and filling out the necessary forms. The third space is the treatment space, which includes the dentist's room, laboratory, and sterilization room. You can design the laboratory outside the area and in the office hallway or separate it from the treatment room with one door. Some dentists prefer one. Use the laboratory in the city.
The last part of your office space is for support, which includes staff hygiene and clothing change, a small kitchen for staff, and a warehouse for supplies. Note that to control infection, provide laundry facilities in the same environment so that employees do not have to carry clothes with them to the home or outdoors for washing.
Color and light play
 Color, light, and water can help you create a clear and vibrant office environment. First of all, you need to pay attention to what colors you are interested in. Do you prefer to use soft colors for the walls and units or use the energetic colors that inspire you and your patients? Undoubtedly, the use of cheerful colors is very important for designing a child's waiting room. In choosing the color of your kitchen, you should pay attention to the harmony of colors with each other. The use of bright colors such as soft blue or cream makes the office space more spacious, so if you have a small office that may look boring, you can use these bright colors for the walls. Using a mirror can also help to make the office look bigger. Soft colors can also affect patients' inner peace.
It is best to use one color for the waiting room and the treatment room. In this case, patients will be familiar with that color in the admission room before entering the treatment room and will be better able to cope with the environment. You can also use a colored background for the waiting room and treatment room, and only consider the degree of darkness and brightness of this color in the two rooms differently. Avoid the absolute use of white or yellow light, and by combining these two colors by installing the right lamps, create a light similar to daylight. Choosing the right tooth color for different types of composites and porcelain in this situation and this light is easier and more accurate. Also, using natural herbs brings freshness and freshness to your clinic and is effective in inducing a sense of calm.
Office and color
 The psychology of colors can be an important factor in both the interior and exterior of offices. For example, if you want to relax your patients more, one of the best things you can do to attract more patients is to paint.
First, let's talk about the outdoor space. It doesn't matter how much you love orange or purple, but don't use them in any way to paint the exterior of your office. Also, the color of the facade of the surrounding houses is important to them, and the color of your office must be in harmony. A house that does not have an unusual color can capture the beauty of all the houses in the neighborhood. In this section, we offer some suggestions for facade paint:

A stretcher capacity (for emergency patients during treatment or when the patient has experienced cardiac arrest, etc.) or a wheelchair is essential.

 

• The dimensions of the dental office are 16 square meters. Open map
• In this design, the type of branches and the location of the room are changed and the spaces are separated by some long partitions. The caretaker's space at the front of each unit should be separated from the treatment area by cabinets and panels. Office space can be seen on the main axis and access to both sides. Fixed furniture can create a visual barrier between the patient's private space and the public hallway. To provide services to both parties, you can see the public facilities shelf and X-ray monitor in the hallway. The benefits of open-plan offices include the following
• Spatial efficiency
• Benefits in economic aspects (use of common equipment)
• A suitable environment for teaching and supervising dental students
• Easy and convenient access to collect dirty tools for sterilization through the main access to the inner corridor

 

 Although in some cases the open design is used in the design, the separating partition is not used in the treatment spaces. In this case, the treatment environment loses its privacy. But if the design has the right dimensions, this space will be attractive and creative.
In the above design, the office space has been removed and the dentist must do such things in the treatment space. Also, there should be a wheeled table next to each unit. Remember that the dental unit should be located in front of the window and the beautiful scenery. Otherwise, a beautiful painting should be used. In addition to physiotherapy, the treatment space should provide a space for peace of mind. The width of the corridor should not be less than 120 cm.

Dental office decoration
An office is a place where you place an important part of your day, so designing an interior decoration office and picking up furniture in this space, as well as the colors used for furniture and walls and the lights you use to illuminate the environment. A happy mood is effective for yourself and your patients. They spend some time in the meeting room or patients usually on the dental unit in the office, so designing a comfortable and clean office environment can be effective in evaluating the services they receive in your office.
Especially these days when competition between offices and dental clinics is fierce, patients will no doubt choose a place to treat their oral and dental problems where they are more comfortable and feel more relaxed. Also, the design of your interior will be effective in maintaining your happy mood, depending on your mood, and will reduce fatigue and long-term boredom in a closed environment.
Shredding office space
Before you start tidying up your office interior, you first need to determine what space in your office is going to be used. For example, part of the office space as a waiting room, part for installing units and There is a section for your study. You need to design each of these spaces according to the use that is to be made of it. If your office is in the form of a clinic with several dentists working at the same time, you need to keep the environment calm and avoid clutter. Because patients travel a lot in this space and it is possible to have a special dental operation on each unit, it is necessary to separate this space properly.
One of the things that helps keep you comfortable in such an environment is to consider the area of ​​the space relative to the number of dentists working at the same time, and enough space to install each unit, sit and move each dentist and assistant. Keep him in mind. You can even use partitions to separate these spaces.
If you are going to have a pediatric dentist and have a special unit for children, make sure that this part is separate from other parts of the office that are for things like pulling and dental surgery for adults. Seeing the sound of equipment and the scenes of fear and anxiety, or possibly patients, does not cause fear and anxiety in the child.
Injecting relaxation into the dental unit
The dental unit is the place where the patient spends all his treatment time and at the same time ensures all his fears and anxieties about dental work in this place. A dental unit with a variety of devices, such as a turbine, angler, suction, lights, etc., can be daunting for children or adults who are setting up a dental office for the first time. Therefore, it should be designed and installed in such a way that the patient feels comfortable and at ease. You can place the dental chair in front of your office window. If your office room is on the ground floor and adjacent to the yard, you can use strong glass and plant all kinds of green plants and flowers in the garden in front of these old windows.
If your room is on the floor of a building with a window that opens onto tree leaves, you can also open a lush, relaxing view of your patient's eyes on the dental unit. But in some cases, your office may be in the basement of a building and the room where the unit is to be installed does not have a window; In this case, you can hang a beautiful and relaxing sign in front of the dental chair.
You can even provide an aquarium with different fish in front of your unit. Various studies have shown that water and the calm movement of fish in it can be effective in reducing patients' anxiety and worry. Alternatively, you can put headphones on your patients on the unit and play soothing music on it, or let that quiet music play through soft speakers in your office space.
Sometimes installing a TV in front of a unit can also be effective, because sometimes patients' minds are preoccupied with programs and images, and their minds are automatically distracted from the pain and fear of the dental environment.
There are 4 units here

 

• waiting room
• the reception
• Therapeutic space
• Support

 

White, bony, blue, cream, beige, green and yellow
You should also be careful when choosing the color of the door and window. If you don't have enough money to paint the whole thing, it's best to just paint the doors and windows. In the meantime, the front door is more important than the other sections. Choose a warm color from the family of colors that everyone who enters the office will feel warm when they see the front door. Brick, burnt coffee, and bright blue and green are some of the best options.
The same is true indoors. Bright and neutral colors make the room brighter and larger, and as always, white is one of the first options. Seeing different colors in the office and their effect on individual situations Before choosing a color for the interior of the office, be sure to pay attention to the psychology of colors. By doing this, both the mental states of the patients will be adjusted and whoever enters your office will receive a higher sense of intimacy from you.
