This course is designed for Microscope dentists including experienced users, new users and those looking to buy a microscope. The goal of this course is to teach the basics of ergonomics and the application in the dental practice. We have seen many experienced dentists are using the microscope less than 20% of the time. Why? Because they do not have the information on ideal ergonomics of the human body and how to properly adjust the microscope in a systematic approach. We will help you minimize the learning curve and you should be able to use the microscope 90-100% of the time. We will teach how to keep the body in the best posture and use the microscope to its full potential.
