It is important that patient and

operator are properly positioned.
PROPER POSITIONS IS A MUST

WHY ?

The patient who is in a comfortable position is

more relaxed, has less muscular tension, and is
more capable of cooperating with the dentist.

By using proper operating positions and good

posture, the operator experiences less physical
strain and fatigue and reduces the possibility of
developing musculoskeletal disorders.

This improves their efficiency of the dental team

and allow more efficient instrument exchange.
