Often dentists adopt bizarre positions while treating patients and even though such technique cause minimal patient discomfort, they in turn are rewarded with muscle fatigue, lower backache, shoulder problem etc. Dental professionals are exposed to various occupational hazards ranging from physical, chemical, infectious, mechanical and social hazards.
