Musculoskeletal Disorders in Dental Practitioners and Ergonomic Strategies
Introduction: In different professions, including dentistry, work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are the main reason of loss of working period, increasing labor costs, human injuries, and absence from work. Improper posture while working is the main cause of these disorders among dentists. In this regard, identifying the risk factors and its potential harms are abs...
متن کاملERGONOMIC PRACTICE AND MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS (MSDs) : OPENNESS TO INTERDISCIPLINARITY
MSDs represent a complex phenomenon, and interdisciplinarity seems desirable not only in research but also in the intervention. First, a model is proposed for understanding work situations that result in the development of MSDs for the purpose of integrating several types of learning based on a systemic approach and of identifying the significance of different terms. An interdisciplinary study ...
متن کاملClinical applications of cone-beam computed tomography in dental practice.
Cone-beam computed tomography (CBCT) systems have been designed for imaging hard tissues of the maxillofacial region. CBCT is capable of providing sub-millimetre resolution in images of high diagnostic quality, with short scanning times (10-70 seconds) and radiation dosages reportedly up to 15 times lower than those of conventional CT scans. Increasing availability of this technology provides t...
متن کاملCBCT applications in dental practice : A literature review
_Two-dimensional imaging modalities have been used in dentistry since the first intra-oral radiograph was taken in 1896. Significant progress in dental imaging techniques has since been made, including panoramic imaging and tomography, which enable reduced radiation and faster processing times. However, the imaging geometry has not changed with these commonly used intraoral and panoramic techno...
متن کاملAn investigation of ergonomic interventions in dental hygiene work.
Alternative methods for viewing teeth while performing simulated dental procedures were investigated. The methods allowed participants to assume postures requiring less neck flexion than the standard direct view. One alternative used a video camera and monitor to view the mouth, the other incorporated 90 degrees prism glasses. The study was conducted in two parts: (1) novice participants perfor...
