Preface
causerisk factors to the worker
One such occupation that is really physically tough on the human body is dentistry. Dental health providers are at an increased risk of work‐related stress and musculoskeletal discomfort by the very nature of their daily work. In spite of different working patterns, there are parallel levels of symptoms in dentists and dental hygienists across nations. There are several links on the internet and journal articles addressing various ergonomic issues. However, there is a need for a more specific source of information for the entire dental health team that can be easily accessed and understood. Risk factors for MSDs are multifactorial. Therefore, the goal of this short book is to describe the causes of the musculoskeletal problems that might be occurring daily in the dental office and that we might have no idea are occurring, and to outline solutions to them. Symptoms appear very early in some dental careers, with a surprisingly higher prevalence of MSDs found in educational training.
