Sažetak
Tendencies aiming at rationalism and saving of time have always been apparent in stomatology. The quality of the dental medical equipment and instruments has gradually undergone improvement but little thought was given to the health problems, i. e. the exertions of the therapeutists at work. Statistical data on professional diseases of dentists indicate that they work under excessive strain and adopt non-physiological methods of work. The most favourable position and the best method of work presenting the least strain on the dentist's organism was selected on the basis of observations of the work of dentists at to the dental chair by means of a slow motion replay film.
The American Thompson introduced into dentistry in 1955 the principles of ergonomy, taking into account not only rationalism of work but primarily the health of the dentist and thus a new style of work was established. This new style of work according to the principles of ergonomy enables greater efficiency, a shorter period of time which the patient has to spend in the consulting room, preserves the health of the dentist and raises the level of the dental services. The authors emphasize that at present in our country it is not possible to introduce a new style of work in our dental practices because of lack of funds, but tendencies should be directed towards these new working habits.
