Prevent on-the-job injury due to repetitive motion and poor ergonomic posture with this career-saving reference. In practice, it is important to implement proper instrumentation techniques to avoid repetitive stress injuries. By practicing the techniques demonstrated in this easy-to-follow, clinic-friendly flip chart book, you can ensure a long, healthy career.
Detailed drawings and step-by-step photographs clearly demonstrate proper technique and ergonomic positioning. Instrumentation pages explain how to implement protective ergonomic hand, wrist and arm positions as well as correct operator positioning. When you follow the techniques in this book, you won't have to compromise good posture to clearly see your working area.
This flip-chart book contains full-color photographs and step-by-step instructions demonstrating new, more efficient and ergonomic techniques for scaling teeth. These reinforced instrumentation techniques utilize both hands while scaling to apply more lateral pressure to the blade and increase control.
Reinforced instrumentation techniques for each area of the mouth are shown. Each page presents photos comparing the ideal reinforcement technique with the conventional technique, shows how to implement protective ergonomic hand, wrist, arm, and sitting/standing positions, and demonstrates the use of magnification to see the working area clearly. The book also includes tips on stretching to help prevent cumulative trauma disorders.
