Human Factors in Dentistry

Summary

It is important that dentistry looks beyond technical/clinical skills as a marker of success and that non-technical skills have equal, if not additional credibility. This means capitalising on psychological safety, communication, leadership, teamwork, situation awareness, decision-making, and cooperation. 

Human Factors in Dentistry are considered through the lens of members of the dental and oral health teams being able to work safely and to the best of their ability, ensuring that safe treatments and care are provided.
