PAGD Keystone Explorer Winter 2021-22

Q dentistry issues Where Do You Stand with Your Dental Ergonomics? Recently, I just purchased new loupes. I had been using my old ones for twelve years (including dental school) and have known that for some time I would need to make the investment to get new ones. I got sized for the new pair and didn’t think twice about using them. After three days of use, I felt like I had aged 20 years. My neck was sore, and my upper back and shoulders were fatigued in a way that they have never been. Three days! This was an eye-opening experience for me on how proper form can have a severe impact on physical well-being, both long and short term. 4 www.pagd.org
