Abstract:

Musculoskeletal problems have become a significant issue for the dentists. The reported symptom prevalence of low back was 45%-60.1%, neck and shoulders was 38%~72%, hand and wrist was 14%-64%, and lower extremities was 6.3%-47.8%, respectively. Several risk factors have been analyzed, including static and awkward posture clinically, workload and psychosocial factors. Regarding these risk factors, prevention measures include proper dental posturing, regular resting, using digital and visual dental instrument. The aim of this study was to review the impact of musculoskeletal disorders on dentists, risk factors and prevention measures.

Key words: musculoskeletal disorders, dentists, posture, risk factor, prevention measures
