Objectives • In the end of this lecture you should know and describe: • STOOL TO CHAIR RELATIONSHIP • PATIENT/OPERATOR POSITION FOR SEXTANTS-RIGHT HANDED OPERATOR • PATIENT/OPERATOR POSITION FOR SEXTANTS-LEFT HANDED OPERATOR
Major Goal in the Practice of Dentistry Deliver high quality service Deliver service as efficiently as possible
2 Basic Issues of Interest in Dentistry • Minimizing stress and fatigue for the dentist • Increase productivity while maintaining high quality standards
Dentistry is stressful and fatiguing • Operator must maintain high level of concentration • Keep a high level of clinical excellence by his/her ability to ▫ Meet variety of patient needs ▫ Perform delicate skills with limited access ▫ Manage schedule and the practice
4 -Handed Dentistry Reduces Stress • Increasing efficiency • Thus increasing productivity to meet demands of public
Concept of 4 -Handed Dentistry • Operating in a seated position • Employing the skills of a trained assistant • Organizing every component of the practice • Simplifying all tasks to the maximum
3 Major Aspects of 4 -Handed Dentistry • Work simplification • Motion economy • Body mechanics
Motion Economy • Conservation of motion ▫ Movements consume time and produce fatigue • Eliminate excess harmful motion
Classification of Movements • Class I ▫ Only fingers �Signal for instrument transfer • Class II ▫ Fingers and wrist �Use of an instrument • Class III ▫ Finger, wrist and elbow �Mix amalgam, activating chair buttons
• Class IV ▫ Entire arm from shoulder �Adjusting light, rubber dam placement • Class V ▫ Entire arm and twisting of the trunk
Class I, III • Preferred for dental assistant and dentists • Involves less muscle activity and saves time • Allows eye contact concentrated on operative field
Work Simplification • Major advantage – Doctors Health • Definition – finding an easier way to do a task more efficiently. • Work simplification studies indicate 4 areas to make dentistry delivery easier
• • Rearrangement of instruments and equipment Combination Elimination Thus simplification
Rearrangement • Position all instruments and equipment in favorable spot to the team not vice versa to minimize movements of team
Elimination • Eliminating unnecessary movements, procedural steps, instruments and equipment • Saves time and efforts
Examples of Elimination • Unnecessary bur changes ▫ 2 handpieces • Unnecessary instrument exchange ▫ Use instrument to max. before returning • Use supplies and materials that can save time ▫ Premeasured capsules • Eliminate seldom used items ▫ Plan for usual not unusual
Combination • Combining steps • Combining purpose of equipment and instruments • Combining uses
PATIENT AND OPERATOR POSITIONS • Efficient patient and operator positions beneficial for the welfare of both individuals. are • A 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 properating positions and good posture the operator experiences less physical strain and fatigue and reduces the possibility of developing musculoskeletal disorders.
Proper adjustment of the operator stool can have a profound impact on spinal biomechanics.
Positioning the Patient and the Operative Team
Objectives of a Favorable Seated Position • • Access to the operative field Good visibility Comfort for the operative team Relative comfort and safety for the patient
Positioning the Operator • Work environment is adapted to the operator • Operator positioned first then ▫ Patient ▫ Assistant ▫ equipment
Characteristics of Balance Posture for Operator • • Operators thighs parallel to floor Entire surface of seat used to support weight Backrest supports back without interference Forearms parallel to floor when hands are in operative position • Elbows close to the body • Back and neck reasonably upright with top of shoulders parallel to floor
• Distance of approximately 14 – 18 inches between the operator’s nose and the patients oral cavity maintained • Operative field is operators midline
Positioning the Assistant • Must be able to see and have favorable access to be able to ▫ Retract tissues ▫ Evacuate fluids ▫ View to anticipate needs of operator ▫ Maintain clear field
Position of Assistant • 3 o’clock position for all quadrants ▫ Right handed operator • 9 o’clock position for all quadrants ▫ Left handed operator • Stool positioned so edge toward the top of patients head is in line with the patients oral cavity • Stool as close to chair as possible • Stool elevated to top of assistants head is 4 – 6 inches higher than the dentist
• Back erect • Body support arm adjusted to support upper body just under rib cage • If stool positioned properly mobile cart can be pulled over lap ▫ Approximately 2 inches below elbows
Sit Down Dentistry • Body mechanics/task performance studies ▫ Seated worker uses 27% less energy ▫ Seated worker has 17% greater life expectancy ▫ Production increases from 33 – 78% • Seated in a balance posture concept • ½ the efficiency of a dental assistant is the result of working with a well-organized dentist who practices 4 -handed dentistry
CHAIR AND PATIENT POSITIONS • Modern dental chairs are designed to provide total body support in any chair position. • Chair design and adjustment permit maximal operator access to the work area. • The adjustment control switches should be conveniently located. • Some chairs are also equipped programmable operating positions. with • To improve infection control, chairs with a foot switch for patient positioning are recommended.
• The patient should have direct access to the chair. • The chair height should be low, backrest upright, armrest adjusted to allow the patient to get into the chair. • The headrest cushion is adjusted to support the head and elevate the chin slightly away from the chest. • In this position neck muscle strain is minimal and swallowing is facilitated.
Zones of Activity • Using center of patients face as a clock • Zones designated as time
Chair positions based on the operator position related to the position of the wall clock
Right Handed Operator • Operator zone ▫ 7 – 12 o’clock • Static zone ▫ 12 – 2 o’clock • Assistants zone ▫ 2 – 4 o’clock • Transfer zone ▫ 4 – 7 o’clock
Left – Handed Operator • Operator zone ▫ 12 - 5 0’clock • Transfer zone ▫ 5 – 8 o’clock • Assistant zone ▫ 8 – 10 o’clock • Static zone ▫ 10 – 12 o’clock
OPERATING POSITIONS FOR RIGHT HANDED OPERATOR 1) RIGHT FRONT POSITION(7 -O’CLOCK) 2)RIGHT POSITION (9 -O’CLOCK) 3)RIGHT REAR POSITION(11 -O’CLOCK) 4)DIRECT REAR POSITION(12 -O’CLOCK) FOR LEFT HANDED OPERATORS 1)LEFT FRONT (5 O’CLOCK) 2)LEFT (3 -O’CLOCK) 3)LEFT REAR (1 -O’CLOCK)
Steps to position a Patient • • Adjust back approximately 60 degrees to vertical Raise chair to height patient can easily be seated Raise arm of chair Once patient is seated ▫ Armrest down ▫ Raise chair approximately 10 inches to allow Dr. to position himself
• Tilt seat portion back so foot rest is raised approximately 6 to 8 inches • Lower back of the chair until patient is about ½ way toward a horizontal position ▫ Pause to allow patient to adjust • Continue lower chair back until following relationships exist ▫ Imaginary line from patients chin to the top of ankles is parallel with floor
Once seated – Observe Patient • Lying flat with little bending at waist • Similar to sleep position • Legs slightly lower than head – if higher might cause – patient anxiety/circulation problems. • Patient in supine position
▫ Level of the patients forehead is also parallel with the floor • Lower chair to operators lap ▫ Approximately 1 inch above knees of operator
Patient Dismissal • Patient dismissal should be accomplished by reversing the steps of seating the patient • Remember to pause for the patient on the way up as well • Most important patient dismissal precaution ▫ Encourage the patient to remain seated to reestablish their equilibrium
COMMON PATIENT POSITIONS • SUPINE POSITION. • RECLINED 45 DEGREES.
Supine Position • Universal position for all working positions • Patient is lying down facing upwards • Slight modifications only allowed as patients needs are assessed
SUPINE POSITION • In this position the patient’s head, knees and feet are approximately at the same level. • The patient’s head should not be lower than the feet ; the head should be positioned lower than the feet only in case of emergency (syncope) • When the operation is completed the chair should be placed in an upright position so that the patient can leave the chair easily preventing undue strain and loss of balance.
SUPINE POSITION
SUPINE POSITION
RIGHT FRONT POSITION • Facilitates examination and work on mandibular anterior teeth, mandibular posterior teeth (especially on the right side) , maxillary anterior teeth. • It is often advantageous to have the patient’s head rotated slightly towards the operator. • 7 -o’ clock position
RIGHT FRONT POSITION RECLINED 45 DEGREES
Head tilting up Head tilt ing up
Head rotation
Head tilting down
Head side bending
RIGHT POSITION • The operator is directly to the right of the patient. • This position is convenient for operating on the Facial surfaces of the maxillary and mandibular right posterior teeth and occlusal surfaces of the mandibular right posterior teeth. • 9 -o’clock position
RIGHT FRONT POSITION (7 -O’CLOCK)
RIGHT POSITION(9 -O’CLOCK POSITION)
RIGHT REAR POSITION(11 -o’clock) • Position of choice for most operations. • Most areas of mouth are accessible and can be viewed directly or indirectly using a mouth mirror. • The operator is behind and slightly to the right of the patient. • The left arm is positioned around the patient’s head. • The lingual and incisal surfaces of maxillary teeth are viewed in the mouth mirror. • Direct vision may be used on the mandibular teeth , particularly on the left side.
RIGHT REAR POSITION(11 -O’CLOCK)
DIRECT REAR POSITION (12 -O’CLOCK POSITION)
DIRECT REAR POSITION • This position has limited application. • Used primarily for operating on the lingual surfaces of mandibular anterior teeth. • The operator sits behind the patient and looks down over the patient’s head. • 12 -o’clock position.
GENERAL CONSIDERATIONS • When operating in the maxillary arch, the maxillary occlusal surfaces should be oriented approximately perpendicular to the floor. • When operating in the mandibular arch, the mandibular occlusal surfaces should be oriented approximately 45 degrees to the floor. • The face of the operator should not come in close proximity to the patient. The ideal distance similar to that for reading a book should be maintained.
• A properator does not rest forearms on the patient’s shoulders or hands on the patient’s face. • The patient’s chest should not be used as an instrument tray. • When operating for an extended period a certain amount of rest and muscle relaxation can be obtained for the operator by changing operating positions.
OPERATING STOOLS • The stools should be on casters for mobility. • It should be strong and well balanced to prevent tipping or gliding away from the dental chair. • The seat should be well padded with smooth cushion edges and should be adjustable up and down. • The backrest should be adjustable forward and backward and up and down. • The operator should not be balanced on the stool using it as a third leg of a tripod. • The operator should sit back on the cushion, using the entire seat, not just the front edge.
Operating stools
• The upper body should be positioned so that the spinal column is straight or bent slightly forward and supported by the backrest of the stool. • The thighs should be parallel to the floor and the lower legs should be perpendicular to the floor. • Feet should be flat on the floor. • The seated work position for the assistant is essentially the same as for the operator except that the stool is 4 -6 inches higher for maximal visual access.
INSTRUMENT EXCHANGE • All instrument exchanges between the operator and assistant should occur in the exchange zone below the patient’s chin and several inches above the patient’s chest. • Instruments should not be exchanged over the patient’s face. • Any sharp instrument should be exchanged very carefully. • The exchange should not be forceful. • Each person should be sure that the other has a firm grasp on the instrument before it is released.
INSTRUMENT EXCHANGE
MAGNIFICATION • Magnification achieved with either surgical loupes or dental microscopes enlarges the operating site. • Both these factors allow the clinician to visualize features not otherwise perceptible to the naked eye. • It is for these reasons that it is universally recognised that the use of magnification in dentistry not only improves the quality of care provided to patients, but also expands the range of treatments that can be offered.
MAGNIFICATION
The Benefits Of Magnification • • • Magnified Image Brilliant Illumination Better Posture and Improved Comfort Increasing Precision (accuracy) Improved Dental Care Additional Treatment Options
Activities • Do a research about Occupational disease in Dentistry.
