Abstract

Ergonomics is an increasing health concern for all work environments in the 1990s. Ergonomic stresses do exist in the dental office for all personnel, and proposed regulatory activity will include dentistry. Hopefully, the pace of regulation will be met by scientific investigation that quantifies these stresses and defines their proper management and prevention. If so, ergonomics will become well-understood and will not develop as a new frontier of misapplied regulation.

摘要

在20世纪90年代，人体工程学对所有工作环境来说都是一个日益受到关注的健康问题。牙科诊所中所有人员确实都存在人体工程学压力，并且拟议的监管活动将涵盖牙科领域。有望通过科学调查跟上监管步伐，这种调查能对这些压力进行量化，并确定其恰当的管理和预防方法。如果这样，人体工程学将得到充分理解，不会发展成为一个监管不当的新领域。
