Vertebral Malalignment among Male Dentists with Workrelated Musculoskeletal Pain in the United Arab Emirates

Abstract

Work-related MSP (WRMSP) is a significant health problem among dentists and may be linked to the later development of vertebral deviations. Posture screen analysis is a quick, yet objective postural and movement screening tool in which findings can quickly be rendered to prospective dentists, so that custom postural and functional exercises may be correctly practiced.

Measuring ergonomic interventions and prevention programs for reducing musculoskeletal injury risk in the dental workforce: A systematic review

“…33 Another study used a two-dimensional photometric tool to assess vertebral deviation. 34 Two studies used audible feedback, 26,35 while another used sensors and attempted to apply ISO 11226 as a baseline standard. 6 Parameters measured and inclusion criteria applied in the studies: When examining baseline parameters collected by the included studies on possible confounders, no studies evaluated the impact of existing training and education within the dental school on the topics of ergonomics and posture, or on MSD prevention and awareness.…”

“…No included study was rated as having a low risk of bias, since every study had a high risk of bias in at least one domain. Studies were rated for selection bias as follows: low risk, if there was a clear randomization protocol (one study) 34 ; unclear, if the random allocation process was not described clearly (11 studies), and high if random allocation of participants to treatment groups was not undertaken (8 studies). For concealment of allocation, there was a low risk of bias in only 1 study, an unclear risk in 12 studies, and a high risk of bias in 7 studies.…”

“…One study used both electromyography (EMG) and remote sensors 33 . Another study used a two‐dimensional photometric tool to assess vertebral deviation 34 . Two studies used audible feedback, 26,35 while another used sensors and attempted to apply ISO 11226 as a baseline standard 6 …”

Riesgo biomecánico por sobrecarga estática y presencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos en odontólogos durante su práctica clínica asistencial. Una revisión narrativa

“…Según la Tabla de Clasificación de Actividades Económicas para el Sistema General de Riesgos Profesionales descrita en el decreto 1607 de 2002, la práctica odontológica es considerada una actividad económica de bajo riesgo ocupacional, nivel 1 sobre 5, para riesgos laborales en Colombia (1) ; sin embargo, una variedad de factores contribuye a la presencia de trastornos musculoesqueléticos (TME) entre los odontólogos, incluidos los factores de riesgo biomecánico, los cuales son un conjunto de atributos o elementos que aumentan la posibilidad de que los odontólogos expuestos desarrollen una lesión (2,3) . Dentro de los factores de riesgo biomecánico podemos encontrar los relacionados con las posturas, tales como: mantenidas, cuando se adopta una postura biomecánicamente correcta por 2 horas o más o biomecánicamente incorrecta cuando se mantienen por 20 minutos o más; forzadas, la cual se considera cuando se sobrepasa el 50% del rango articular; prolongadas, cuando se adopta la misma postura por el 75% o más de la jornada laboral y anti gravitacionales donde se posiciona un segmento del cuerpo en contra de la gravedad (4) .…”
