Ergonomics in dentistry focuses on designing dental workplaces, selecting equipment, and adopting techniques that promote the health, comfort, and efficiency of dental professionals. Applying ergonomic guidelines helps minimize the risk of musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which are highly prevalent among dentists due to prolonged static postures, repetitive movements, and poorly designed tools. Key strategies include using properly designed chairs and hand instruments, maintaining good posture, optimizing operatory layouts, and implementing four-handed dentistry. International standards and evidence-based guidelines support the adoption of ergonomic practices to extend career longevity, improve practitioner well-being, and enhance patient care. Ongoing innovation in dental equipment and regular assessment of ergonomic risks, as cited in authoritative sources, are central to ensuring a safe and productive dental practice environment.
