Microscopic Ergonomics for Endodontists
CE Hours: 1.0
Description: Endodontics has evolved during the last decades with the introduction of specifically designed microscopic instruments and techniques. In order to apply these techniques in an efficient manner for the endodontist and the dental team, a thorough understanding of the ergonomic principles is mandatory. A correct set-up can prevent stress and fatigue and may enhance our clinical procedures potentially improving our clinical results.
Learning Objectives:
- List the advantages of an ergonomically designed microscope set-up.
- Discuss the different features of an ergonomic microscope-based set-up.
- Explain how implementing an efficient set-up can improve the ergonomics and efficiency of the team.
