Abstract

Purpose – to establish the current state and role of occupational factors of determination of morbidity among dental service employees of Ukraine for the following scientific substantiation of the risk-prevention measures. The research was carried out with the help of the developed medico-sociological questionnaire among 1000 workers of dental service in Kyiv, Odessa, Chernivtsi. Working conditions, morbidity with temporary disability (MTD) and prevalence of pathology among workers (in the context of classes and nosologies ICD-10) were studied. There was compared the prevalence of pathology among workers with the general population of Ukraine and Europe (as of 2016), using a Standardized Incidence Ratio (SIR). With the use of non-parametric Spearman correlation analysis statistical links between the prevalence of classes of diseases in the workers were investigated. Using discriminant analysis (Wilks-test) determining role in the formation of MTD, prevalence of pathology among the employees of the dental service, the following factors: gender, age, occupational group, speciality, working conditions was determined. The employees of the dental service have сomorbidity of pathology with simultaneous diseases of the organs of the system: digestion, bone-muscular, skin, blood circulation, nervous and respiratory. On average, one worker has diseases from 2.2 classes of diseases (ICD-10). All pathological states have multifactoral etiology, in which both biological (age-related changes) and professional risk factors are combined. Taking into account the significant effect of the complex of harmful occupational factors on the levels of prevalence and progression of pathological conditions, it is highly probable to say that the category "Occupational diseases" relatively employees of the dental service include: infectious diseases (HIV infection, hepatitis B/C, tuberculosis), mental disorders and behaviors (including depression); diseases of respiratory organs (bronchitis, bronchial asthma); skin diseases (dermatosis); diseases of the nervous system (radiculopathy) and musculoskeletal system (arthritis, osteoarthritis). Prevention programs should be developed and implemented among dental workers.
