The dental chair is the operating space for the dentist. A poorly designed seat can cause incorrect and awkward postures, leading to undesirable physical conditions in the long working day, such as back, neck and shoulder pain, which could in turn result in long-term drawbacks such as musculoskeletal damage and eye disorders.
An ergonomic dental chair allows to maintain a proper posture, without straining the body or vision; also offering freedom of movement to reach the different working tools, thus promoting the efficiency and well-being of the professional. In concrete terms, an ergonomic dental chair should provide a three-fold solution: adaptability to the dentist’s body, allowing easy access to the patient and maintaining the ability to change position flexibly throughout the day to avoid physical wear and tear on the professional.
