Abstract

Objective: Adopting correct body postures is extremely essential in preventing future musculoskeletal disorders in Dentists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the body posture of general and specialist dentists to find awkward body postures, badly postured body parts and the risk of developing future MSDs. Methods: Stratified sampling method was used to recruit 224 dentists in Kerman and Mashhad. The most frequently adopted body posture was selected and based on Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method, scores were given to the angulation of different body parts. T-test and ANOVA test were performed to analyze the data. Results: About 10% of dentists had a REBA score which showed a high or very high risk of developing MSDs. Specialists and general dentists were not different in terms of REBA score. Among different specialties, periodontists had the highest REBA score. Overall, forearms and neck had the highest REBA score. Conclusion: General dentists and all dental specialties (except operative dentists) were at moderate risk of developing MSDs. Periodontists were at higher risk of developing MSDs. Based on REBA, the forearm and the neck were the most badly postured body parts.

牙科专业人群的身体姿势评估和发生肌肉骨骼疾病的风险

目的:采用正确的身体姿势对预防牙医师的肌肉骨骼疾病至关重要。本研究的目的是评估普通牙医和专业牙医的身体姿势，以发现尴尬的身体姿势，姿势不良的身体部位以及发展未来MSDs的风险。方法:采用分层抽样方法对克尔曼和马什哈德地区的224名牙医进行调查。选择最常用的身体姿势，基于快速全身评估(REBA)方法，对不同身体部位的角度进行评分。采用t检验和方差分析对数据进行分析。结果:约10%的牙医有REBA评分，显示有较高或非常高的MSDs风险。专科医生和普通牙医在REBA评分上没有差异。在不同专科中，牙周病患者的REBA评分最高。总体而言，前臂和颈部的REBA得分最高。结论:普通牙医和所有牙科专科(除手术牙医外)发生MSDs的风险均为中等。牙周病患者发生MSDs的风险较高。根据REBA，前臂和颈部是姿势最差的身体部位。
