#15: Patient/Operator Positioning

The position of the clinician, the patient, and the chair are important foundational skills that need to be mastered for proper ergonomics during instrumentation in the clinical setting. Proper chair positioning provides the clinician with visibility and accessibility to all aspects of the dentin and allows for proper adaptation, visibility, and proper ergonomics. It is an important foundational skill to develop all aspects of clinical care using the proper patient and operator positions in all sextants of the dentition. As I say.... "Those who know will grow."
