IntroductionIntroduction 1960's were years of transition in dentistry
Dentists realized that it was healthier for them to work sitting down, with the patient in a reclining position to better access the oral cavity
Four-handed dentistry, sterilization and other technological advances are now the standard of profession
Heavy workloads, ergonomics, predispositions and equipment selections are key factors today in determining a dentist’s wellbeing
Posture and ergonomics are fundamental in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders

StatisticsStatistics75% of dentists and hygienists suffer from
musculoskeletal disorders that affect occupational health and the quality of practice life
MSDs are the leading reason for early retirement among dentists
29.5% of dentists cut their career short because they are in pain

StatisticsStatistics70% of dental students experience chronic
musculoskeletal pain by their third year of dental school *
Main contributing factor to MSD is working posture: stretching, reaching, leaning and awkward movement patterns, which cause dentists to move out of neutral alignment of the body
Equipment selection, muscle weakness, debilitation, training techniques, work habits and workload have all been blamed for poor seating posture in dentists
Back and neck pain is one of the leading causes of lost work time, second only to the common cold

Defining Musculoskeletal Disease:
Defining Musculoskeletal Disease:
…a disorder of the muscles, tendons, peripheral nerves or vascular system not directly resulting from an acute or instantaneous event (e.g., slips or falls)
The most common MSDs result from prolonged static postures in dentistry including:
•Chronic low back pain, referring into the hip, buttock or one leg•Tension neck syndrome, pain between shoulder blades, possible tingling or numbness in one arm or hand•Trapezius myalgia, pain, tenderness and muscle spasms in the upper trapezius muscles• Rotator cuff impingement, pain in the shoulder on overhead reaching
•
Mechanisms Leading to MSD
Mechanisms Leading to MSD
Work in front of and below the operator’s eye level leads to a forward head and rounded shoulder posture
Forward-head-and-rounded-shoulder posture also increases forces on the upper neck muscles and spinal vertebral disks
Low back strain is a common diagnosis among workers who must sit in a slightly flexed forward position
Under normal conditions, damaged tissue is repaired during rest periods, but in dentistry, damage often exceeds the rate of repair due to insufficient rest periods
To protect the stressed area from further injury, the body uses another part of the damaged muscle to maintain the body position

Staff can now see exactly what is done in a procedure and will soon be able to anticipate your needs and better assist
Since a mirror is no longer used for most procedures, time is not wasted keeping it clean
When working off of the LCD display, a dentist can hold the suction and drill at the same time and perform a procedure without the aid of an assistant – this could be handy in an after hours emergency
