Comment:
These systems can be designed to convert flexibly with right- and left-handed adaptability which not only impacts ergonomics, but helps in the resale of your practice, specifically for left-handed dentists who most likely will find a right-handed buyer. Should right-left convertibility be a significant objective, make sure that the rest of the operatory is designed to support this goal.
