description The posture and positioning of pediatric dentist will greatly depend upon the type of dental chair they chose while treating children. Pediatric dentists working on a traditional adult chair for treating children frequently lean forward for close proximity to oral cavity; as a result of this poor posture, they are more prone to suffer from musculoskeletal disorders. Proper positioning of dentist during treatment will improve not only their comfort but also their career longevity. The aim of the study was to assess the comfort and need of pediatric dental chair compared with traditional adult dental chair for treatment and better management of children. STUDY DESIGN: This is a questionnaire survey for postgraduate students consisting of 14 multiple-choice questions in English format. The questionnaire was structured to know whether the pediatric dental chair is beneficial compared to traditional adult dental chair while treating children. RESULTS AND CONCLUSION: Out of 92 responded members, 99% had an opinion that a pediatric dental chair is needed for treating children. They concluded that pediatric dental chair had many advantages over traditional adult dental chair while treating children and acceptance of pediatric dental chair among postgraduates is overwhelming.
