Ergonomics Applied to Dental Practice - Juan Carlos Ortiz Hugues
58,00 inkl. MwSt
Musculoskeletal disorders are extremely prevalent among dentists due to sustained poor postures that cause muscle fatigue. This book teaches dental professionals how to prevent these disorders by adopting the four principles of dental ergonomics: knowledge of body biomechanics, using an ergonomic stool, implementing four-handed dentistry, and working with a surgical microscope. These principles aim to keep the body in a comfortable neutral posture throughout the working day, enabling dentists to work and live pain-free.

Juan Carlos Ortiz Hugues, DDS, is a certified ergonomics assessment specialist who lectures and provides trainings on advanced dental ergonomics, mainly related to dental microscopy. He serves as the vice president of the Academy of Microscope Enhanced Dentistry (AMED) and maintains a private practice limited to endodontics in David, Panama. He wrote his book to encourage dental professionals to adopt better practices so they can live and work pain-free.
