Conference summary

Technological advances are now occurring exponentially, so we hardly have time to learn how to adapt. The need for magnification in dentistry is so pressing, that any position is accepted to have a better vision.

How to improve, simplify and plan teamwork with broad vision? Different visions, but the same goals. The position and access of the dental assistant to the field of work is undoubtedly an important factor for the success of the treatment. What is the use of the Dentist to see better, if the daily work does not flow harmoniously to both sides?

The proper integration of the dental assistant and the rationalization of techniques, as well as the adjustment to the body physiological limitations regarding the required movements, must be present in the planning of the procedure to be performed. This conference aims to help you realize how the magnified view changes the work flow and how we can make it more ergonomic.
