IS YOUR DENTIST USING SIX HANDED DENTISTRY?
3

• Imagine a situation like this in your everyday
  life. You are the master chef standing in front
  of a stove. You have two sous chefs cutting,
  chopping, washing, cleaning, broiling - all you
  need to do is take the items they hand you and
  put it into the vessel, season it and bring the
  whole dish together. You decide the time it is to
  be cooked and the degree. But you don't have to
  move your eyes away from the stove for even a
  second unless you wanted to because everything
  peripheral is being handled by your sous chefs.
  That is six handed cooking )
• For those of you visiting dentists since years -
  you will remember the day when for every step the
  dentist would get up - move around - collect
  equipment - materials etc. Sometimes he would
  hold the suction himself with his left hand while
  working with the right. i.e. if there was suction
  in the first place in the clinic.
• Dentists In Hyderabad the Most dentists would
  work standing up for the majority of procedures
  and usually the patient would be seated upright.

• Today working in such a position is almost
  unheard of.
• Most patients are treated in supine ( lying down)
  positions and dentists are almost always seated.
  Working without an assistant is considered
  ridiculously inconvenient. Dentists usually work
  with at least 1 assistant - positioned
  immediately next to him on the patient's left.
  The assistant's hands along with the doctor's
  make for 4 hands. However today even this is
  considered outdated. Most dentists today prefer
  to work with 2 assistants. If there are 2
  assistants - it means 6 hands are all working
  towards one procedure.
• Most dentists today don't move from their chair.
  Once seated they position their patients in such
  a way that maximum visibility and access is
  achieved while at the same time both doctor and
  patient are comfortable. The assistants do all
  the moving about, handing him instruments,
  materials, holding the suction etc.

• So what's in all this for you? As a patient?
• Why is four handed/six handed dentistry important
  for the patient? What do you have to gain?
• 1. Dentistry is faster. With more people helping
  - the doctor is free to spend all his time on
  your treatment alone which brings down treatment
  time rapidly.
• 2. Dentists In Hyderabad It is better. Since the
  doctor is not distracted by small auxiliary
  procedures - he is able to deliver better service
  because he can concentrate on the procedure.
• 3. Infection control. The doctor does not touch
  materials/equipment other than those essential to
  your procedure. The rest are touched/handled by
  the assistants making transfer of micro-organisms
  less likely.
