title: Designing better dentistry: the ergonomic approach.
abstract: The ergonomic dental office is designed around the people who work there on a daily basis as well as the patients it serves. Because it is attractive, functional, esthetic and comfortable, it cultivates happy, productive dental teams and relaxed, contented patients. An ergonomic office enables people to move about freely, with easy access to the materials and equipment they need. And it encourages staff to take pride in their jobs, an activity that occupies more than half of their waking hours. In other words, the ergonomic office is not a luxury; it's an essential.
