“…The results indicated an intermediate to high score for ergonomic risk in the group using the conventional seat, which is consistent with other studies [36,39]. Over the last decade, research has been intensified, designing the effects of different seats on the clinical practice of dentists and dental students [11][12][13][40][41][42]. Among such studies, three have investigated the ergonomically modified stool [40][41][42] and three have investigated the saddle seat [11][12][13].…”

Among such studies, three have investigated the ergonomically modified stool [40][41][42] and three have investigated the saddle seat [11][12][13]. All studies showed an improvement in the experimental group when compared to the control group, especially for presenting a lumbar lordosis seated posture [11][12][13].…”

This study aimed to verify whether the saddle seat provides lower ergonomic risk than conventional seats in dentistry. Methods This review followed the PRISMA statement and a protocol was created and registered in PROSPERO (CRD42017074918). Six electronic databases were searched as primary study sources. The "grey literature" was included to prevent selection and publication biases. The risk of bias among the studies included was assessed with the Joanna Briggs Institute Critical Appraisal Tool for Systematic Reviews. Meta-analysis was performed to estimate the effect of seat type on the ergonomic risk score in dentistry. The heterogeneity among studies was assessed using I 2 statistics. Results The search resulted in 3147 records, from which two were considered eligible for this review. Both studies were conducted with a total of 150 second-year dental students who were starting their laboratory activities using phantom heads. Saddle seats were associated with a significantly lower ergonomic risk than conventional seats [right side (mean difference =-3.18; 95% CI =-4.96,-1.40; p < 0.001) and left side (mean difference =-3.12; 95% CI =-4.56,-1.68; p < 0.001)], indicating posture improvement. Conclusion The two eligible studies for this review provide moderate evidence that saddle seats provided lower ergonomic risk than conventional seats in the examined population of dental students.

“…En relación a las intervenciones ergonómicas implementadas, y su impacto sobre la sobrecarga muscular, se concentran, por un lado, en cambios en el equipamiento y en el mobiliario, desarrollando por ejemplo, estudios comparativos con distintos tipos de silla o taburete para el ejercicio de la profesión (14,(16)(17)(18)(19), la comparación entre instru-mentos alámbricos e inalámbricos (20), el uso de instrumental manual con diseños ergonómicos (21) o de instrumental mecanizado (ultrasónico) (22).…”

Introducción: los desórdenes músculoesqueletales tienen una alta prevalencia en la población general y en particular, en el área salud, los profesionales de la odontología representan una población altamente vulnerable, debido a características particulares del ejercicio de su profesión. Es creciente el estudio de diferentes intervenciones ergonómicas y el impacto que estas pueden tener sobre la reducción de la sintomatología muscular y en el desarrollo y/o la perpetuación de estos cuadros disfuncionales. Materiales y método: se realizó una revisión, de tipo narrativa, entre los meses de abril de 2022 y agosto de 2022. Se consultaron base de datos tales como MedLine/PubMed y Scielo, incluyendo artículos publicados en los últimos diez años. Resultados: se obtuvieron un total de 71 artículos, de los cuales, se excluyeron 30 trabajos, resultando en 41 los artículos incluidos en la presente síntesis cualitativa. Conclusiones: las intervenciones ergonómicas están dirigidas básicamente, a cambios en los ambientes de trabajo de los profesionales y/o a la implementación de programas que tienen como objetivo instruir y concientizar a los profesionales sobre criterios ergonómicos para su incorporación en el desempeño de su trabajo. Ambos enfoques intervencionistas, han sido evaluados con herramientas validadas de autopercepción, exámenes clínicos y evaluaciones instrumentales. Las estrategias que focalizan el problema, en los espacios de trabajo, y aquellas que, incluyen educación y formación en ergonomía, disminuyen el impacto de los desórdenes músculoesqueletales en esta población. Estas últimas, tienen la potencialidad de provocar cambios en los hábitos de los profesionales, con conductas que se mantienen a mediano plazo.
