Abstract

A dental lighting system (10) for selectively illuminating a treatment site (12) on a patient sitting on a treatment chair (14). The system includes at least one monitoring device (32, 32′) configured to determine characteristics of a treatment site (12) on a patient and at least one lighting unit (22, 24) configured to generate an illuminated area (34) onto the treatment site (12) by emitting a first light beam (36) in an upright state in which the treatment chair (14) is in an upright position and by emitting a second light beam (38) in a lying state in which the treatment chair (14) is in a lying position. The at least one lighting unit (22, 24) is configured to set a shape of the illuminated area (34) based on the characteristics of the treatment site (12).
