Abstract

Results The majority of participants were between the ages of 25 and 35, and the gender distribution of the demographic distribution was comparable. The prevalence of pain was 86.8% (97/342 dentists). NDI analysis showed that 65.7% had mild disability, 12.8% have a moderate disability, and 1% had severe disability. Bivariate analysis showed that pain was affected by age (p=0.013), orthodontist practices (p=0.031), regular exercise (p < 0.001), using vibrating instruments (p < 0.001), cervical flexion for better vision while working (p < 0.001), knowledge, and experience about ergonomic posture (p < 0.005). Multivariate analysis showed four predictors for pain: age (p=0.017), performing stretching exercises after finishing clinical practice (p=0.022), orthodontist specialty (p=0.029), and performing cervical flexion for better vision while working (p=0.004). Conclusion This study showed that through the application of some strategies such as stretching, exercising, and being careful in using vibrating instruments, the dentist may be able to relieve the pain.

黎巴嫩社区牙医颈部疼痛调查。

结果:大多数参与者年龄在25 ~ 35岁之间，人口统计学分布的性别分布具有可比性。疼痛发生率为86.8%(97/342)。NDI分析显示，65.7%为轻度残疾，12.8%为中度残疾，1%为重度残疾。双变量分析显示，年龄(p=0.013)、正畸医师实践(p=0.031)、定期运动(p < 0.001)、使用振动器械(p < 0.001)、工作时颈椎屈曲以改善视力(p < 0.001)、人体工学姿势知识和经验(p < 0.005)对疼痛有影响。多因素分析显示，疼痛的四个预测因素:年龄(p=0.017)、临床实习结束后进行伸展运动(p=0.022)、正畸专科(p=0.029)和在工作时进行颈椎屈曲以改善视力(p=0.004)。结论:本研究表明，通过一些策略的应用，如拉伸，锻炼和小心使用振动仪器，牙医可以减轻疼痛。
