Background:
In prosthodontics laboratories, dental devices and appliances are made to measure, optimized and tested, in particular prostheses, following the design specifications of the dentist.
Objective:
He purpose of this study was to learn about and become familiar with the work processes in prosthodontics laboratories and also analyze inconveniences and risks in the laboratory work space.
Methods:
The simple computerized pre-mapping model, the risk profiling method, was used. Repetitive movement evaluation was further analyzed using the multitask OCRA mini-checklist.
Results:
Repeated movement risk to the upper limbs was identified during some production processes; chemical and physical pollutants were present as well as problems related to the use of certain equipment.
Conclusions:
This by no means exhaustive analysis can be considered as a starting point in creating guidelines in risk evaluation in a sector consisting of small and very small businesses which has so far not been studied in depth.

Mouth Inspection
The inspection begins with visually examining the mouth for symmetry, color, and size.
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...
