as the microscope. The key is whether their use is carried out under a systematized approach centralized in the user, complying with guidelines, training, and use that consider the posture, movements, and the position of the operator, the position of the patient in the dental chair, and the training suitable of the assistant; factors that will optimize the ergonomic use and influence the health and efficient work of the operator and the staff. High magnification in dentistry is necessary, but in the same way technology without training and without considering the user can lead to inappropriate use of them, which makes them irrelevant, poorly usable or misused.

Stress, pain, injuries, and errors in dental procedures are situations highly linked to dentistry derived from multiple factors making this profession a profession with high physical and mental demand to achieve quality treatment without deteriorating the health of those who perform it, in this case, the dentist, the assistant, and hygienist. The effects of wrong postures, but above all, the lack of knowledge of the proper postures, the modeling of bad habits acquired during the training stage in dental school, and the lack of work guidelines that not only take into account the dentist but also to all the work staff and the methodological organization of dental tasks can be found in the scientific literature. Magnification devices are known to improve vision, precision, and ergonomics in dentistry;1 advances in the area of high magnification in dentistry are taking place by leaps and bounds. In recent years, new magnification loupes design have appeared on the market, called ergonomic magnification loupes that stands out from conventional Galilean and Keplerian through the lens (TTL) Flip-up loupes in terms of its postural benefits and is part of the arsenal of magnification loupes to consider in the market. The postural approach of high magnification equipment is necessary in the professional practice, where the design of Ergonomic magnification loupes with consideration not only for magnification but also for the operator’s postural health which can have a significant impact in the

performance and overall health of the dentist and hygienist, more if incorporated from the beginning of dental school education and training. 2,3 KEYWORDS Ergonomics, Magnification loupes, Posture. INTRODUCTION In the Ergonomic magnification loupes the arrangement of the prisms Keplerian design is modified so the optical pathway is curved 45 degrees producing the deflection of the image so that the operator can work with the head in a neutral position, reducing the cervical angle from 20° of forward head flexion to 0°.4 Figure 2 The already proven advantages of dental work with the use of magnification loupes in terms of treatment quality, posture, and performance, are only sustained through proper training and proper selection of loupes from the start by customizing working distance and interpupillary distance.5,6,7 The inappropriate selection and use of magnification loupes can impair the sense of position, orientation, and movement of the head and neck, resulting in the aggravation of musculoskeletal symptoms and eyestrain. 8 A key aspect to consider with any newly acquired technology is the training,9,10 and it should address the learning of biomechanics of the human body applied with magnification loupes physical principles such as depth of focus and field of view, which allow Quarter I

professionals to make the correct adjustments, according to the procedure performed.11 Among the ergonomic considerations for magnification loupes selection, customizing the interpupillary distance and working distance will ensure maintaining the correct ergonomic posture and focal distance, promoting a better use of the loupes.12 The interpupillary distance is the distance between the center of the pupils, and the working distance is the distance between your eyes and the patient’s teeth while maintaining an ergonomic position, and is reliable information on the acquisition of the magnification loupes.13 Proper selection of the working distance is vital for the operator to preserve the posture during the dental work. Figure 2, Figure 3. Any forward movement toward the patient’s mouth will interrupt the clarity of the image focus by altering the focal distance set on the optics. Another no less important factor that affects the operator’s posture is the magnification power, the improvement in working posture result from the use of magnification systems may be explained by the improved visualization of the operating field, also a statistically significant increase in visual acuity is achieved by increasing the magnification.14,15 The selection of the type of magnification power depending on user experience, the specialty, and the needs of the depth of field, the field of view, and the need for greater or lesser magnification will be significant for the degree of information necessary when working in the different specialties, in turn with the comfort in its use.16 Proper lighting, in addition to the power of magnification, is critical in highly demanding eyehand coordination and tactile perception required in dentistry, calling for the highest visual function, stereo vision, and object depth perception.17,18 Although the conventional magnification loupes systems have reduced the angular deviation of the neck, it remains higher than what is considered neutral, more than all due to the declination angle and weight. 19,20,21 Using conventional or ergonomic magnification loupes following established neutral seated work posture guidelines, postural awareness, and adequate use of indirect vision with the mirror can lead the operator to optimal use of them while improving working efficiency and the

operator´s health.22 The neutral seated posture during dental work protects our body by placing minimal loads on the cervical, lumbar, shoulders, and arms. Following the recommended side view, angulation is the starting point to deliver stress-free practice in the body: 23 Head posture: eyes 0-20° downward, aligned with shoulders; shoulders aligned with hips; hips 110-125° angulation. The dentist positioning at 12 o’clock and the positioning of the patient in a horizontal position in the dental chair with the mouth at the height of the operator’s elbows will create postural symmetry for the operator and strategic vision angles to work in both maxillary without displacing the body out of the neutral position minimizing the fatigue.24 By being systematic in the positioning, the operator will help using the magnification loupes more efficiently, optimized by working four handed-dentistry with the assistant.25 In the literature, when compared, the optical advantages offered by different magnification devices, such as the conventional magnification loupes, ergonomic magnification loupes and the dental microscopes, provide advantages and disadvantages. The dental microscope is highly superior visually and ergonomically and is indispensable for visual control, making the dental microscope the visual and postural gold standard for the operator.26 The microscope offers multiple magnification steps and coaxial light, depth of field, keeping an upright position, and the ability to quickly generate complete operative information promoting better precision due to the high magnification power, not only in endodontics. 27,28,29

The principal ergonomic problem with the magnification loupes among dentists is the lack of fixed position (fine movements of the dentist’s head disturb the image of the magnified operating field) and the need to change the loupes to achieve different magnifications compared to the dental microscopes.30 However, the most significant disadvantage of the dental microscope is the high initial investment cost and the more complex and often lengthy learning curve, even more without adequate training in its use.31 The ergonomic magnification Quarter I

According to the information collected, to guarantee the proper selection and use of magnification loupes, the operator consider the following guidelines: - The representative must have the correct information about the operator’s interpupillary distance before purchasing the loupes, becoming the most important selection factor of the magnification loupes system. - The operator must measure the working distance based on their neutral seated posture and with a patient in the correct position in the dental chair to ensure the best posture when working according to individual measurements.

- Patient at the end of the headrest of the dental chair in a horizontal position - Patient’s head at the top of the headrest - The frame of the loupes should rest nicely on the base of the nose for more image stability - The position of the patient, mouth at the level of the operator’s elbows or slightly higher, guarantees the operator’s posture and the focal clarity of the loupes during the dental work. - Indirect vision and mirror skills, plus movements of the patient’s head, promotes workflow during the procedure without attempting the neutral posture.32, 33 - Four-handed dentistry with the assistant will help the operator to maintain neutral posture and regulate unnecessary movements during the procedure with the magnification loupes. 34 - Due to adjusting the working distance previously set in the loupes, the operator is forced positively to work in a neutral position to see the work surfaces clearly.

There are two options for portable Digital Ultra solutions that can seamlessly move between operatories – the 4-cylinder stand package and the Newport™, which is fully enclosed.

Advanced Conscious Sedation Systems Accutron™, a proud member of HuFriedyGroup, is a leading manufacturer of innovative nitrous oxide/oxygen sedation equipment and accessories. For over forty-five years, our focus has been to design and manufacture the highest quality sedation products that assist dental practitioners in relaxing their patients and making their dental visit a comfortable experience. Accutron™ products are proudly made in the USA, in Phoenix, Arizona.

Accutron™ ClearView Nasal Masks Accutron™ ClearView™ Nasal Masks feature a mask-in-mask design to minimize ambient nitrous oxide in the operatory. This design eliminates the need for a “scavenging hub” on the scavenging circuit in older designs such as the Accutron™ PIP+ Nasal Mask and others. The clear outer mask allows you to monitor patient breathing, as condensation appears when the patient is properly breathing through their nose. The colorful, soft inner mask design creates an improved facial seal. Additional Features: • Lower profile than original designs to expand clinical field of view • Single-use minimizes cross-contamination; saves staff time • Appealing colors and scents engage and relax patients • Can be used with other brands of scavenging circuits • 12 individually wrapped nasal masks/box Not made with natural rubber latex.

All-Bond Universal®

Light-Cured Dental Adhesive

All-Bond Universal is a truly universal adhesive that is formulated to be compatible with all light-, self-, and dual-cured resin composite and cement materials for all direct and indirect procedures. It also offers flexibility for use with total-, self-, and selective-etch bonding techniques. The compatibility of All-Bond Universal is due to its ultra mild acidity (pH>3). Other single bottle adhesives may need more than one bottle for indirect restorations, but with All-Bond Universal, no activator is ever required.

Additionally, its low film thickness allows the adhesive to readily flow into etched surfaces and offers both chemical and mechanical sealing. All-Bond Universal is the only adhesive system you will need in your practice.

All-Bond Universal’s unique chemistry allows for the adhesive layer to become hydrophobic after polymerization, which leads to improved durability of the bond over time. It also contains MDP monomers, which chemically bond to the tooth for enhanced durability.

TheraCem® Self-Adhesive Resin Cement TheraCem by BISCO is a calcium and fluoride releasing self-adhesive resin cement designed for dental professionals, combining simplicity with high-performance bonding. Engineered for convenience, TheraCem›s MDP containing formula eliminates the need for separate bonding agents, primers, or etchants, streamlining the restoration process, and ensuring reliable adhesion to a variety of substrates.

without compromising on performance. Dental practitioners can rely on TheraCem to deliver strong, durable restorations while enjoying the added benefit of calcium release and of a simplified and efficient workflow.

TheraCem›s unique chemistry allows for a quick and efficient placement, reducing chair time and enhancing the overall patient experience. The dualcure feature provides flexibility, allowing for both light and self-cure options, ensuring adaptability to diverse clinical scenarios. With a low film thickness and excellent marginal integrity, TheraCem offers clinicians confidence in achieving optimal results. Whether used for cementation of crowns, bridges, or other prosthetic restorations, TheraCem stands out as a versatile solution that prioritizes simplicity Dental News

IonoStar Plus Flowable – and yet packable IonoStar Plus is a glass ionomer restorative material with numerous special features. Very easy to extract from the capsule, the material at first has excellent wetting characteristics resulting in optimal marginal adaptation. Its viscosity then changes within a few seconds, making the material malleable for at least one minute without sticking. It thus provides ideal viscosity at every stage of application. Moreover, IonoStar Plus has a curing time of just two minutes, after which work can continue immediately. This is a valuable advantage, particularly in the treatment of patients with low compliance, such as children. • Perfect marginal adaptation and packability in one product, thanks to a change in viscosity during application • Fast setting time of only 2 minutes from placement of the filling

• The first glass ionomer material with tooth-like fluorescence • High level of fluoride release • The new capsule design reaches smaller cavities and difficult-to-access areas of the mouth • High compressive strength and abrasion resistance

Admira Fusion 5 Simplified shade system through Cluster-Shades Admira Fusion 5 uses five different Cluster-Shades, each bundling several VITA® classical shades. This provides adaptation to the natural colour gradient of the tooth as well as more efficient and easy shade selection. Thanks to the simplified shade system, all 16 VITA® classical shades can be covered with only five ClusterShades. Multi-shade layering is not necessary. This means that you are optimally positioned for your everyday practice with only five shades and can thus considerably streamline your inventory.
