The AnterioRest^® Support
The AnterioRest is a revolutionary approach to the prevention and treatment of lower back injury. The concept of Back Support From the Front^® applies research findings which suggest that anterior support is far more effective than posterior support in reducing muscle stress in an inclined position.

The AnterioRest attaches to the back of the patient chair and terminates in a small cushion against which the practitioner leans, thus freeing arms and hands for stress free manipulation of instruments. The supporting arms can be moved through a full range of motion, accommodating all treatment positions for right or left handed users. The optional dual mount installation attaches two AnterioRests to the back of the patient chair providing support for both the dentist and assistant during four-handed procedures. The AnterioRest has been instrumental in alleviating back, neck, and extremity pain, helping many users return to comfortable living and productivity.

The AnterioRest has been designed and precision engineered to provide you with the most versatile ergonomic solution available for dental career-related back pain.

A. Mounting Plate
The Mounting Plate attaches to the back of the patient chair which provides a stabilizing anchor for the AnterioRest. The AnterioRest can then be positioned to provide support for the entire trunk and upper body, alleviating muscle effort. Universal mounting systems are available for most chair models including a dual mount option that secures two AnterioRests to the back of the patient chair. Installation is straightforward using basic tools. Pictured above is the direct mounting plate option for certain types of metal-backed chairs.

B. Lower Arm
The Lower Arm is attached to the Mounting Plate by a ball joint and it provides the extension necessary to work on any side of the patient chair. The Lower Arm can freely move into any clock position (9 through 3 o’clock), move up and down, and rotate 360° on its axis. The movement of the Lower Arm is controlled by the centrally located Control Knob (F).

C. Elbow Pivot
The Elbow Pivot connects the Lower Arm to the Upper Arm. The Upper Arm can swing 360° at this center point. In general terms, this is the point where the horizontal positioning of the Lower Arm transitions to the vertical positioning of the Upper Arm. The pivoting motion is controlled by the centrally located Control Knob (F).

D. Upper Arm
The Upper Arm provides the vertical extension for the Chest Pad. It is attached to the Chest Pad metal plate by a smaller ball joint. The Upper Arm can pivot 360° as described above. The ball joint at the end of the arm allows the Chest Pad to rotate 360° on its axis and vertically pan the face of the pad up or down. The movement of the Upper Arm is controlled by the centrally located Control Knob (F).

E. Chest Pad
The cushioned pad supported by a metal plate provides a comfortable front rest for the practitioner. The practitioner rests against this pad when leaning forward to work on the patient. The slim profile of the Chest Pad and ball joint allows the practitioner to “get in close” to the patient.

F. Control Knob
This centrally located knob unlocks all planes of movement of the AnterioRest. This single point locking knob allows the device to be moved in one motion from one side of the patient chair to the other while allowing simultaneous fine adjustment of the Chest Pad for optimum comfort. The operator can maneuver the Chest Pad and Arms into virtually any configuration or desired position simply by releasing the Control Knob and moving the pad.
