  • Title: Ergonomics: a case study in preventing repetitive motion injuries.
    Author: Hunt K.
    Journal: J Dent Technol; 1996 Jun; 13(5):35-7. PubMed ID: 9516275.
    Abstract:
    Dental Services Group has designed and implemented a system for its dental laboratories to mitigate cumulative trauma injuries, such as carpal tunnel syndrome and tendinitis. In the dental laboratory, these injuries result from repetitive motions such as waxing, sandblasting, grinding and polishing. This article describes purchasing guidelines for ergonomically designed laboratory equipment and offers resources for implementing workplace safety programs.
