Functional training for dentistry: an exercise prescription for dental health care personnel
1University of Southern California School of Dentistry, USA.
Abstract:
Athlete's Performance, an organization of specialists in the development of athleticism and injury prevention, has analyzed the seated postural demands of dental health care workers for the purpose of developing an exercise protocol appropriate to the dental profession. As with their individualized exercise prescriptions for some of the world's most acclaimed athletes, the conditioning of the torso is the focus of a prescription for exercise when injury prevention is emphasized. An analysis of the seated postural demands common to dental health care workers is the basis for an exercise protocol intended to strengthen the torso and encourage "good" seated posture.

Teeth
In the bud stage, the tooth germ (an aggregation of cells) starts to form in the developing jawbone. During the cap stage, the tooth germ differentiates into enamel organ, dental papilla, and dental sac, which will later develop into the tooth's enamel, dentin and...
Tooth Anatomy
The Crown, Neck, and Root
The visible part of the tooth is referred to as the crown. It's covered by enamel, the hardest substance in the human body. The crown is uniquely shaped for each type of tooth, allowing for different functions such as cutting, tearing, or grinding food.
Exercise and Muscle Performance
Endurance exercises
Endurance exercises involve running, swimming, or cycling, which require repetitive movements with low force output. When a person engages in endurance exercise, a few noticeable changes occur in their skeletal muscles. For instance, the number of capillaries...
Exercise Stress Test
Exercise stress testing, commonly known as a treadmill test, is a noninvasive procedure used to evaluate cardiovascular function and diagnose heart conditions.
Definition
An exercise stress test measures the heart's response to exertion using a treadmill or stationary bicycle. Chest electrodes record the heart's electrical activity through an ECG, and blood pressure is monitored regularly.
