IntroductionIntroduction 1960's were years of transition in dentistry

Dentists realized that it was healthier for them to work sitting down, with the patient in a reclining position to better access the oral cavity

Four-handed dentistry, sterilization and other technological advances are now the standard of profession

Heavy workloads, ergonomics, predispositions and equipment selections are key factors today in determining a dentist’s wellbeing

Posture and ergonomics are fundamental in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders

musculoskeletal disorders that affect occupational health and the quality of practice life

MSDs are the leading reason for early retirement among dentists

StatisticsStatistics70% of dental students experience chronic

musculoskeletal pain by their third year of dental school *

Main contributing factor to MSD is working posture: stretching, reaching, leaning and awkward movement patterns, which cause dentists to move out of neutral alignment of the body

Equipment selection, muscle weakness, debilitation, training techniques, work habits and workload have all been blamed for poor seating posture in dentists

Back and neck pain is one of the leading causes of lost work time, second only to the common cold

Defining Musculoskeletal Disease:

Defining Musculoskeletal Disease:

…a disorder of the muscles, tendons, peripheral nerves or vascular system not directly resulting from an acute or instantaneous event (e.g., slips or falls)

The most common MSDs result from prolonged static postures in dentistry including:

•Chronic low back pain, referring into the hip, buttock or one leg•Tension neck syndrome, pain between shoulder blades, possible tingling or numbness in one arm or hand•Trapezius myalgia, pain, tenderness and muscle spasms in the upper trapezius muscles• Rotator cuff impingement, pain in the shoulder on overhead reaching

Mechanisms Leading to MSD

Mechanisms Leading to MSD

Work in front of and below the operator’s eye level leads to a forward head and rounded shoulder posture

Forward-head-and-rounded-shoulder posture also increases forces on the upper neck muscles and spinal vertebral disks

Low back strain is a common diagnosis among workers who must sit in a slightly flexed forward position

Under normal conditions, damaged tissue is repaired during rest periods, but in dentistry, damage often exceeds the rate of repair due to insufficient rest periods

To protect the stressed area from further injury, the body uses another part of the damaged muscle to maintain the body position
