Ergonomics in the Dental Office provides clear guidance on alleviating or eliminating the pain and discomfort caused by strains put on the body in daily practice. This easy-to-read book explains the principles of ergonomics, identifies specific causes of musculoskeletal problems, and presents simple--yet effective--techniques to address the physical stresses that might be occurring in the dental office. Concise, highly visual chapters demonstrate correct postures, clock positions, instrument transfer, head and neck placement, instrumentation techniques, office design, and more. The author emphasizes the importance of daily exercises, rest breaks, and disciplines that relieve both physical and emotional stress such as yoga and Tai Chi. Topics include occupational health issues and research, treating disabled patients, developing ergonomic awareness, seat positioning for tall and short operators, integrated intervention planning, and signs and symptoms of musculoskeletal disorders. Presents ways to improve body positioning and instrumentation techniques, including basic ergonomic principles of proper four-handed dentistry Discusses exercises to reduce stress and reduce muscle fatigue, such as Pilates, free weights, and aquatic activities Covers all key aspects of ideal dental office ergonomics, including furniture, equipment, office layout and design, and practice assessment Designed to address a problem all dental professionals face, Ergonomics in the Dental Office is an invaluable book for dentists, dental hygienists, dental assistants, and dental students and trainees.
Four-Handed Dentistry by
This review of sit-down, four-handed dentistry is an ideal how-to reference manual for the entire dental health team. Extensively illustrated with step-by-step procedure boxes and "how to" pictures, it outlines the implementation of efficient procedures for a productive stress free clinical environment--i.e., how to practice efficiently and how to select equipment that is ergonomically sound--that will improve productivity and reduce strain. Coverage begins with an overview of the principles of four-handed dentistry and motion economy, moves on to treatment room design, types of delivery systems, and basic equipment selection, and then details the basic techniques used to promote ergonomic concepts during routine dental treatment, such as seating the patient and operating team, instrument transfer, oral evacuation. For dentists, dental students, dental assistants, or dental hygienists.

Modern Operative Dentistry by
This book provides the theoretical knowledge required by students when learning how to diagnose oral diseases, plan treatment, and perform various types of dental restoration. It is also useful for clinicians wishing to update their treatment skills and broaden their understanding operative dentistry. Adopting an evidence-based approach, and in accordance with the philosophy of minimally invasive dentistry, it explains in detail the use of both classic and new restorative materials in various clinical situations. It also discusses the principles of smile analysis, as well the technique for esthetic composite restorations on posterior and anterior teeth, including direct and indirect veneers. In addition to richly illustrated, step-by-step descriptions of procedures, it offers essential information on basic topics, such as dental instruments and equipment, nomenclature and general principles of tooth preparation, isolation of the operating field, matrix and wedge systems, light curing, and pulpal protection. Furthermore it addresses the diagnosis of dental caries and tooth sensitivity of non-carious origin, like dentin hypersensitivity, dental erosion and cracked tooth syndrome, together with their treatment options. Also explaining the fundamental ergonomic principles of clinical practice, the book enables undergraduate students to embark on a successful professional career.

Reinforced Periodontal Instrumentation and Ergonomics for the Dental Care Provider by
This flip-chart book contains full-color photographs and step-by-step instructions demonstrating new, more efficient and ergonomic techniques for scaling teeth. These reinforced instrumentation techniques utilize both hands while scaling to apply more lateral pressure to the blade and increase control.Reinforced instrumentation techniques for each area of the mouth are shown. Each page presents photos comparing the ideal reinforcement technique with the conventional technique, shows how to implement protective ergonomic hand, wrist, arm, and sitting/standing positions, and demonstrates the use of magnification to see the working area clearly. The book also includes tips on stretching to help prevent cumulative trauma disorders.

Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are injuries or pain in the human musculoskeletal system, including the joints, ligaments, muscles, nerves, tendons, and structures that support limbs, neck and back. With the ever-increasing precision and complexity involved in dentistry along with an increase in patient expectation, procedures are taking a longer time. Over time muscle imbalances also can develop between the muscles that stabilize and those that move, and the stressed shortened muscle becomes ischemic and painful. The combination of these proliferative and infiltrative processes can lead to tissue changes over time. Awkward postures, forceful exertions, repetitive motions, duration, contact stresses, vibration and psychosocial factors are important risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders among dental professionals. This comprehensive review aims to provide a lead-in, definitions, basic structure of the musculoskeletal system, epidemiology and classification, mechanism of injury, signs and symptoms, diagnosis, risk factors, and management and prevention of work-related musculoskeletal disorders in the dental workplace.
