Ergonomics, Exercises and Education to Prevent Neck and Back Pain among Dentists
Journal Title: Journal of Dentistry and Oral Sciences - Year 2019, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Work-related back pain has the highest proportion of approximately 60% followed by neck pain. The objective of this review is to make the dentists aware of the effectiveness of ergonomics, education and exercise to prevent premature disability resulting from neck and back pain. Dentists have a high global prevalence of musculoskeletal (MSD) disorders and low back pain (LBP) is leading amongst those followed by neck pain. There are ample pieces of evidence about the role of ergonomics, education and exercises in primary and secondary prevention of musculoskeletal pain. These interventions can be introduced to dentists as primary prevention to avoid neck and back problems.
