| BOOK EXCERPT: Operator Stools |
Your operator stool is the foundation of your posture in seated dentistry, and therefore one of the most important ergonomic investments you can make. While many manufacturers claim their stool is 'ergonomic', it is only beneficial if it adjusts to fit your unique size, height, and operatory. In this research-based book excerpt, you will discover how different stool features and their adjustment can dramatically impact your health.
