Abstract

The Introduction of a Dental Operating Microscope (DOM) in clinical work can pose some difficulties for the operator’s work. In particular, to ensure the safety of the operator’s visual system and ergonomics of the work, the operator’s gaze should be continuously directed to the operating field. The instruments should be moved over the operating field by the assisting personnel, whose participation in the transfer is considered complete only when the evening instrument is visible through the microscope and the operator is fully capable of controlling its movement. The instrument transfer method in DOM includes three steps: modified direct placement, predelivery, delivery, and exchange of instruments. In the presented method, the most essential elements are the properly oriented end of the instrument by the dental assistant and mutual grasp of the instrument. The technique enables the reduction of load on the operator’s visual system, making four-handed work more ergonomic.
