| description | Introduction: in the profession as a dentist there will be consequences over time due to bad ergonomics or incorrect posture in care. These consequences are musculoskeletal injuries that can vary, starting from minor discomfort to irreversible and disabling injuries.
Objective: to characterize the most frequent disorders in dentists due to bad ergonomics and their consequences.
Method: a narrative review was carried out from a search in the PubMed and Scielo bibliographic databases on the most frequent disorders in dentists due to poor ergonomics. Of a total of 31 articles found, 17 studies were excluded based on the topic of interest, including 14 articles in the present bibliographic review.
Development: The information collected was structured into aspects related to the ergonomic design of the office, work organization, body positions during patient care, tendon injuries, nerve and neurovascular injuries, muscle injuries, and joint defects.
Conclusions: The ergonomic principles applied to the exercise of the dental profession are essential when it comes to improving and maintaining the health conditions of the dentist and consequently that of the patient. |
