Abstract

The patient and operator position are important for the benefits of both individuals. A patient who is comfortably seated in dental chair with right posture is going to experience less muscular strain, less fatigue and is more cooperation during the treatment. The same is the case with operator. If operator maintains proper position and posture during treatment, the operator is less likely to get less strain, fatigue, be more efficient and less chances of getting musculoskeletal disorders. Operating field requires proper isolation from the oral secretions and humidity from the operating in order to reduce most of the operative problems. It is essential to provide proper moisture control, good accessibility and visibility as well as adequate room for instrumentation around the operating area.
