Dentech Corporation announces the Inner Circle™ Productivity Program, a unique, proprietary program that uses ergonomics to improve productivity and reduce the risk of work-related musculoskeletal injuries in the operatory. The program includes in-office training, a binder packed with resource materials, access to a password-protected section of the Dentech website, special offers available only to Inner Circle members, and a quarterly newsletter. Studies show that half or more of all dentists and hygienists suffer from musculoskeletal pain. In addition, fatigue caused by improper lighting and poor technique results in millions of dollars in lower productivity and lost income each year. Work-related stresses such as awkward postures and repetitive motions can lead to potentially disabling injuries and disorders.
The Inner Circle Productivity Program is based on the proven principle that proper positioning (of the patient and the operator), combined with the correct use of ergonomically designed equipment, offers dental practices increased productivity and a lower risk of work-related stress, fatigue, and injury. The program teaches dental professionals to maintain neutral postures and whenever possible to restrict movements to within the “inner circle” surrounding the oral cavity.
The core of the program is a binder filled with useful materials such as advice on choosing and using dental equipment, tips for preventing work-related musculoskeletal problems, a chart showing the relationship between certain types of work and musculoskeletal disorders, a diagnostic checklist for determining whether the practice is a healthy one, and a bibliography for learning more. The newsletter features additional tips, in-depth articles, statistics, and health-related facts.
The program includes on-site training of the dental team, based on observations of their working style and preferences, to help them practice in a safer, more productive manner. Ongoing support, via the website and the newsletter, helps the team maintain good habits.
The Inner Circle Productivity Program, including the in-office training component, is available for $995. For a limited time, however, the program is free with the purchase of any of five featured Dentech operatory packages. When purchased at a show or convention, these operatories also come with a free 15” LCD flat-screen monitor.
