Prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders among dental healthcare providers: A systematic review and meta-analysis

et al. 2022

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Background: Work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) are common in dentistry due to the prolonged static work involved during patient care, making dental health care personnel vulnerable to musculoskeletal complaints. We aimed to pool the prevalence estimates of MSD among various dental healthcare providers, including dentists, dental students, dental hygienists, and auxiliaries. Methods: A systematic search of five databases was performed (Scopus, Embase, CINAHL, Web of Science, Dentistry & Oral Sciences Source). The studies that reported the prevalence of MSD among dental healthcare workers and those written in English were selected. Screening and data extraction were performed by two review authors independently. Discrepencies were resolved by another review author. Risk of bias assessment was done using a nine-item questionnaire developed by Hoy et al. Pooled estimates were calculated using metaanalysis of proportions (random effects model). Results: Among the 3090 publications screened, 234 publications were included for full-text screening. Meta-analysis was performed for 89 estimates from 88 publications. Females showed significantly higher prevalence [OR = 1.42 (95% CI = 1.09-1.84); I 2 = 66.02; N = 32]. The analysis yielded a pooled estimate of 78.4% (95% CI = 74.8-82). The meta-regression showed similar prevalence over the years (Coefficient: 0.001; P-value: 0.762). Conclusions: A high prevalence of MSD was noted among dental healthcare providers, with about seven out of ten having experienced MSD in the past. This emphasizes the need for awareness and adoption of appropriate ergonomic postures by dental healthcare Open Peer Review Approval Status AWAITING PEER REVIEWAny reports and responses or comments on the article can be found at the end of the article.

“…Only one-third of the studies (n = 32) reported gender-specific estimates. The pooled prevalence of MSD among males and females was 72.4% (95% CI = 65.2-79.6) and 77.4% (95% CI = 69.4-85.4) respectively 6,7,10,12,13,16,18,22,23,38,39,41,53,56,58,59,62,[67][68][69][70][71][72][73][74][75][76][77][78][79][80] (Table 2). Females had significantly higher estimates of MSD than males (OR = 1.42) (Figure 2).…”

This emphasizes the need for awareness and adoption of appropriate ergonomic postures by dental healthcare providers from early in their careers to minimize work-related MSD.
