Erica St. Pierre of Design Ergonomics provides an overview of dentist, assistant, and patient positioning in a single-entry suite that is ideal for dental sedation.
Some highlights:
- During right-handed dentistry, leg lock is ideal for ergonomics and efficiency. Side saddle is also effective.
- Patient's head should be 4 feet from back wall to allow room for Over-The-Head dental delivery
- Position the dental workstation along the patient's left shoulder for maximum efficiency and ease of use for a righty dentist. Workstation can also be quickly converted for lefty dentist.
