All dentists will agree with this. Their work can be difficult and extremely physical. These professionals perform a wide variety of treatments, which involve a wide variety of positions, postures and movements, which together can make dental work exhausting work. So we can say that a good design in the dental clinic is very important.

There are some techniques that allow the dentist to work with less stress and faster, four-handed dentistry is one of them. What does it consist of? This is a technique that facilitates teamwork and reduces the time of treatment, since the dental hygienist or assistant works with the dentist during various procedures.

 

In order to perform this collaborative technique, it is vital to comply with a series of parameters so that the four hands that will be in action can do so effectively throughout the procedure. For this reason, we present a series of recommendations to design your treatment room especially for comfortable and four-handed dental practices.

Minimize unnecessary exercise

 

One of the maxims of this technique is to reduce unnecessary work. For any dentist, any job that requires repetitive movements, prolonged use of uncomfortable hand positions and postures will be a real nightmare, which could make their work slower due to fatigue and pain.

It is important that both dentists and assistants are able to work together effectively. This means that when dentists require a tool, the other pair of hands is there and can deliver the piece correctly and without complications.

 

The design of the treatment room plays an important role. This space must have a sequential flow, which allows both people to work and move comfortably but without losing pace and productivity. In addition, the patient and staff should be properly seated in comfortable, ergonomic chairs at the appropriate height, if possible with the tooth surface at the level of the elbow or slightly above.

If you plan to perform this technique, it is necessary that the room is adapted. Both protagonists need a large space to move comfortably around the patient, so it is important to design this space before thinking about applying this technique.

What does this need? Ideal would be two entry points, in this way the assistant can enter and leave the room, when necessary. The space around the patient should be divided into four zones; the one of the dentist, the assistant, transfer zone for instruments and the static zone.

Selection of dental units

 

To perform an ergonomic and four-handed dentistry, it is important to select the dental unit correctly, as well as the unit’s components, mobile cabinets, patient’s chair, operating stools, fixed cabinets to ensure that these will not complicate the practice’s objectives.

 

Remember that dental equipment is not universal, but is adapted to different tastes, left-handed and right-handed professionals, different dental specialties and operating designs. All the tools and devices to be used must be in the correct position (level of the elbow or a few inches above), at an adequate distance.
