Abstract
Systematic approach for Posture, Positioning and Performing Quality Dentistry
Clinical workers in dentistry have a high incidence of musculoskeletal disorders; one of the significant advantages of using the right magnification tool is that it improves ergonomics by improving our work posture. However, we have seen that the ergonomic potential of dental practice is not exploited due to a lack of information and basic knowledge of how to implement it correctly. By using the right magnification tool and concepts, participants will learn how to work without pain and alleviate the physical stress that plagues the dental profession. The goal is to promote a stress-free practice and the quality of clinical care provided.
