Показать описание
The practice of dentistry is demanding and stressful.Dental procedures can be carried out both in sitting and standing positions.Physical problems may arise if appropriate working position is neglected.

Dental Ergonomics is extremely important to the health of dentists, dental hygienists and dental assistants and the first step of working in balanced posture is to seat your patient in the dental chair properly.
This video details the ideal Operator-Patient Positioning in a dental care situation.

I'm a 2nd year student at the University of the Andes in Santiago, Chile. Since I started studying dentistry, never has someone taught me these basic, but very useful and fundamental techniques, yet the Doctors here expect me to perform pristine perfect Black type ll cavities using indirect vision. Thank you so much for this great video, really saved me!

As a patient I have had 2 dentists. One puts me all the way back, so much so, that blood and anaesthetic all drips back and I feel like I can't swallow or block my throat. I literally choke. It's horrible. The other dentist never reclines me completely flat, and it is much better and I can swallow. Isn't there a way the patient can be comfortable? I know dentist is important, but coming from the patient, lying totally flat is horrible.

What about when you're doing endodontic treatment? You have to sit behind the paint for suppose lower molars?
