Dentists often experience neck, shoulder, and back pain due to prolonged unphysiological postures. This study details the musculoskeletal damage mechanisms and offers prevention strategies and exercises for dental professionals.

Area of Science:

  • Occupational Health
  • Musculoskeletal Disorders
  • Dental Ergonomics

Context:

  • Dentists frequently adopt unphysiological postures during clinical practice.
  • These postures can lead to significant musculoskeletal strain.
  • Repetitive strain injuries are a common concern in the dental profession.

Purpose:

  • To elucidate the pathophysiological mechanisms behind musculoskeletal damage in dentists.
  • To provide evidence-based recommendations for pain prevention.
  • To offer targeted therapeutic and gymnastic interventions for dental practitioners.

Summary:

  • The paper examines how non-ergonomic working positions in dentistry contribute to skeletal and muscular damage.
  • Detailed analysis of the pathophysiological processes leading to pain and injury is presented.

  • Practical advice on prevention, treatment, and a specialized exercise regimen is included.

    • Impact:

    • Improved understanding of occupational hazards for dentists.
    • Potential reduction in the incidence and severity of work-related musculoskeletal disorders.
    • Enhanced quality of life and career longevity for dental professionals through ergonomic awareness and management.
