Dentists and dental students often assume awkward physical positions while providing treatment to (a) get a better view of the intraoral cavity; (b) provide a more comfortable position for the patient; and/or (c) operate equipment and reach for instruments and supplies. Posture isn�SQ�t the only concern. New technologies and changes aims to give the dentist new concepts to give greater comfort and better health. This review emphasizes on a new technology: proprioceptive derivation concept.Proprioceptive derivation concept helps dentists to discover new ways of positioning themselves, and working comfortably and effectively, which makes it possible for dentists to adopt a more neutral, less awkward working posture.
