Precision and efficiency define successful dental practices. Dental professionals rely on tools and resources that boost their performance while ensuring patient safety and comfort. One crucial yet often overlooked tool is the dental chair foot pedal. Among the numerous options available, the Presair B621BA Foot Pedal stands out for its quality, performance, and ease of integration. This blog post explores how integrating Presair’s B621BA-10FT Foot Pedal into dental chairs and other equipment can significantly enhance dental practice operations.
Optimizing Dental Chair Functionality with Foot Pedals
The B621BA-10FT Foot Pedal, paired with TVA (alternate-action) or TVM (momentary-action) air switches, offers an exceptional solution for dental chairs. This setup allows for precise control of chair movements, ensuring hygienic and efficient operation without disrupting procedures.
How It Works: Air-Powered Control
Presair’s foot pedal system operates entirely on air pressure, making it highly reliable and safe for use in dental environments. Here’s a breakdown of how it works:
- Pressing the Pedal: When the practitioner presses the foot pedal, it sends a pulse of air through DEHP-Free tubing.
- Activating the Air Switch: This air pulse travels to the Tinytrol Air Switch mounted in the dental chair’s controller area.
- Triggering the Chair Mechanism: The air switch then activates the chair’s electrical or hydraulic systems, moving the chair according to the practitioner’s inputs.
This air-powered control eliminates the need for electrical wiring near the foot pedal, reducing the risk of electrical hazards and ensuring a clean, safe working environment.

- Connect the Tubing: Attach DEHP-Free tubing to the switch and extend it to the foot pedal.
- Position the Pedal: Place the foot pedal on the floor within easy reach of the dental practitioner.
