Dental care in pediatric dentistry requires several considerations, which are often overlooked during the treatment planning. The ergonomics concepts allow us to establish which parameters and pre-treatment strategies allow us to enjoy a better quality, efficiency and productivity in dental care. In this review article we seek to share these concepts apply to pediatric dentistry, ranging from the choice from the time of the dental appointment, to how to organize the work to be more enjoyable.
