OBJECTIVE :
Ergonomics is a branch of applied science pertaining to the design and application of products and procedures for safety and maximum productivity. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) or cumulative trauma disorders are disorders that affect the muscles, nerves, tendons, ligaments, cartilages, joints, and spinal discs. These are caused due to repetitive movements, excessive application of force, and incorrect posture and hence are the most common occupational hazard among the dental professionals.
Good working ergonomics is essential so that work capability, Efficiency and high clinical level of treatment can be maintained throughout the working life of dental professionals. The scope of ergonomics in dentistry is large: it ranges from chemistry between the dental team to lighting, noise and odor conditions and naturally to the used equipment and software. The treatment environment with the patient chair, dental unit, operating light, dynamic and hand instrumentation, cabinetry and peripheral equipment must be flexible. They need to adapt and guarantee good working postures, sufficient lighting and easy access to required instrumentation and materials for different working practices, clinical procedures and patient types.
