For the right handed dentist seated to the right of the patient the operator zone is between:
- A- 8 and 11 o'clock.
- B- 2 and 4 o'clock.
- C- 11 to 2 o'clock.
- D- all of the above.
The operator zone for a right-handed dentist seated to the right of the patient is indeed A - between 8 and 11 o'clock.
Here's why the other options are incorrect:
B - 2 and 4 o'clock:
This zone would be behind the patient, making it difficult for the dentist to reach and operate effectively.
C - 11 to 2 o'clock:
This zone would be across from the patient and would require the dentist to twist and contort their body, leading to discomfort and fatigue.
D - all of the above:
While the dentist can access some areas in zones B and C with adjustments and contortions, the optimal and ergonomically efficient zone for operating with their dominant hand remains between 8 and 11 o'clock.
