Educational Objectives
This white paper discusses one of the most ergonomically important commodities to a dental professional – hand health. We often take our hand health for granted, noticing them only when problems arise. Yet hand function is essential for daily life; from cooking meals for your family or holding your newborn baby, to performing dental procedures that save and improve lives. The topic is so important there is even a National Hand Health month (September) that aims to promote strong and pain-free hands for life.
Abstract
It is easy for dental professionals to unintentionally place excess biomechanical stress on their hands through the demands of dentistry coupled with everyday tasks. Hand damage is a cumulative effect that tends to worsen over time. This white paper will bring attention to hand health and discuss the risks and mitigating steps a dental professional should take to practice pain-free and lengthen their career.
