2. HANDS ON TEAMTRAINING-COURSE IN ERGONOMICS

(WITH A LOT OF PRACTICAL EXERCISES)

WORK WELL,

SAVE TIME AND ENERGY,

WORK SMARTER NOT HARDER

DUO OR DUO-SOLO

SEE WELL, SIT WELL –  

The course may be held in your practise.  

A “hands on” course with intensive teamtraining for dentists and their assistants.  

The course can be held for your team alone or or together with other teams.

F. ex. two teams pr workingplace, max 3 workingplaces with altogether 6 teams.

A team is a dentist with 1 or 2 assistants.  

Duration: 8  hours with short pauses.  

After an introduction the course presents short demonstrations followed by repeated practical exercises with simulated patient-treatment and individual counselling.

SUBJECTS.  

The relation between direction of vision, visual distance, position of the head of the patient and position of dentist and assistant.

Position of unit, and aspirationsystem.

Handinstrumentshape and form, instrumentgrip, fingersupport and the influence on your sittingposition.

Relation between visual distance and instrumentgrip

Glasses based on bad mechanical or optical construction as a health risk.

Work with mirror, spray etc,’  

Aspiration and retraction-methodes. Use of multifunctional syringe.

Fourhanded instrumenttransfer. Integration of unitinstruments in the transfer.

Working methodes for specific tasks.

The clinic-PROTOCOLLE as the base of teamwork.  

The working place of the assistant.

Handinstrumenttable position and flexibility

Assistants working-table top—for sitting work – size and exact position.

Position of drawer-element.

Placement of materials and handinstruments.

Principle of use of material-trayes.

Handinstrumenttrayes  

Dentist working place for DUO work and changing DUO/SOLO work.  

Principles for SOLO-WORK.

Aspiration tube for solo-work. Retraction and fingersupport.

Position of handinstruments.

Handinstrument grip.

Placement of materials and instruments.

Functions of left and right hand of dentist.  

This course is the solution to the basic question. “How do I improve my practical working methods”

One thing is to see demonstrations of working methods, something quite different is to take the methods in use. This is what you learn in this course. Basic methods and techniques are (like in a dancing-school) repeated so many times that you achieve a beginning “automatication” of the manual working-methods.  

Many think it may be very difficult to change manual working methods. My experience is however that it can be done in ONE DAY followed by repeating the training say 45 minutes every second day the week after the course.  

This course teaches you to win a lot of time and energy by a well organized and dynamic teamwork. Furthermore you learn to work in  healthy, relaxed and less tiring working-positions.

Optimal ergonomics is a precondition for quality and positive patient-experiences.

By participating in this TEAMTRAINING COURSE IN ERGONOMICS you can achieve:  

working methods and teamwork by the treatment chair is optimal

                             to maintain undisturbed concentration with your professional task.

                             to work in better workingpositions and prevent occupational diseases.

                             less fatigue, win energy and time and have -----

                             to improve teamspirit and return with new inspirations to you daily work.

                             to give your patients a better experience and better “total quality”

DESCRIPTION OF THE COURSE:  

The course begins with a 1 hour demonstrations of principles for fine working-positions. Risks and inconviniences and reasons to this is demonstrated.  

The workingpositions is a result of the interaction between direction of vision, visual distance, patient-position, dentists-position, instrumentform, instrumentgrip and fingersupport.

It is demonstrated how your working-positions can be improved by a changed interaction of all these factors.  

The following part of the course consists of short demonstrations followed by practical exercises with simulated treatments performed by a dentist and his/her assistant. A dental assistant is “patient” and a dentist is “supervisor” who assures that the practical exercise is made correctly. At the same time the dentist learn to evaluate “practical work” based on ergonomic criteria  

Then there is focus on the dynamic cooperation between dentist and dental assistant.  

The fourhanded instrumenttransfer is trained by a sequence of exercises- first without “patient” later with “patient”. The exercises are repeated so many times, that dentist and assistant achieves a biginning routine.  

The objective is that you – by teamwork on high level – can work with -

FULL AND UNDISTURBED CONCENTRATION ON YOU PROFESSIONAL TASK  IN THE MOUTH OF THE PATIENT.

This implies that the dentist

DOES NOT NEED TO LOOK AWAY OR REACH AWAY FROM THE PATIENT,

EVERYTHING IS TRANSFERRED TO THE HAND OF THE DENTIST – WITHOUT ANY DELAY.  

This objective is achieved by training the methodes of fourhanded dentistry, by a number of exercises.  

SOLO instrumentgrip, retraction and aspiration methodes are trained.  

At last there is demonstrated assistance by different treatments like scaling, composite in molars and endodontic treatment.  

Basic principles of the working-place for dentist and assistante is demonstrated like principles for organizing materials and  handinstruments.  

The course can be adjusted to your individual wishes and needs.  

At the same time as the course is directed towards working-positions and effective treatment-methodes we have a lot of attention to a caring patient-treatment.

It is very important to work with precise  and friendly movement so the touching, we call a treatment is as friendly and caring as possible.

The course is very relevant for your daily practise and you learn a lot of methods ready to take into use.

It a intensive, engaging and entertaining course.
