Discover how better working methods, positioning and teamwork can help make everyday dentistry healthier and more efficient. This hands-on training at Westerburger Kontakte in Germany gives dentists and dental teams the opportunity to practise ergonomic working techniques in a clinical environment equipped with XO dental units.
Dentistry demands precision, concentration and often long periods working in challenging positions. Over time, poor working posture and inefficient routines can contribute to discomfort in the back, neck and shoulders.
This intensive hands-on course from Westerburger Kontakte focuses on something that can easily be overlooked in a busy dental practice: how you and your team actually work around the patient.
Participants will practise techniques designed to support a healthier, more systematic and efficient way of working, including:
- Ergonomic working methods and healthy posture
- Patient positioning
- Dentist and dental assistant seating positions
- Two- and four-handed dentistry
- Suction and retraction techniques
- Direct and indirect working
- Working with magnification loupes
- Basic ergonomic working concepts
The training takes place in small groups, allowing participants to practice the techniques rather than simply learn about them. The principles taught are independent of the dental unit manufacturer.
The practical training is carried out using XO dental units, making the seminar particularly relevant for dental professionals interested in experiencing ergonomic workflows in a hands-on clinical setting.
