Being a Dentist we are bit different from other health professionals.We treat our patients by working actively
inside there mouth and we have to develop superior manual dexterity to achieve best results.Consider average mouth opening of a person,it is not more then four fingers wide and what about the visibility and accessibility of our operating field? It’s weird!!! We work in a field in which people struggle to put a ‘Burger’ and we are expected to do miracle and yes we are doing miracles. We perform detailed, meticulous procedures on a minute scale and margin of errors are in micro fractions, our instruments are sharp and invasive, loss of concentration will result in damage to vital tissue which is unacceptable.
