Abstract
Background. The majority of treatment room configurations typically revolve around the dentist. However, a design based on the relationships among the dentist, patient, staff members and dental equipment results in a more fun ctionally appropriate design. Practice Implications. As the dental practice's primary production space, t he treatment room should be designed as efficiently as possible. Ideally pl anned operatories will benefit your practice by allowing you to produce as much as you choose, while decreasing your stress level.
