3. Introduction 1960's were years of transition in dentistry Dentists realized that it was healthier for them to work sitting down, with the patient in a reclining position to better access the oral cavity Four-handed dentistry, sterilization and other technological advances are now the standard of profession Heavy workloads, ergonomics, predispositions and equipment selections are key factors today in determining a dentist’s wellbeing Posture and ergonomics are fundamental in the prevention of musculoskeletal disorders

4. Statistics 75% of dentists and hygienists suffer from musculoskeletal disorders that affect occupational health and the quality of practice life MSDs are the leading reason for early retirement among dentists 29.5% of dentists cut their career short because they are in pain Source: 1997 Study, The Institute of Dental Ergonomics

5. Statistics 70% of dental students experience chronic musculoskeletal pain by their third year of dental school * Main contributing factor to MSD is working posture: stretching, reaching, leaning and awkward movement patterns, which cause dentists to move out of neutral alignment of the body Equipment selection, muscle weakness, debilitation, training techniques, work habits and workload have all been blamed for poor seating posture in dentists Back and neck pain is one of the leading causes of lost work time, second only to the common cold

6. Statistics 271 students from all four years at the University of California San Francisco School of Dentistry were included in this study, an overall response rate of 85 percent.

7. Defining Musculoskeletal Disease:

8. Mechanisms Leading to MSD Work in front of and below the operator’s eye level leads to a forward head and rounded shoulder posture Forward-head-and-rounded-shoulder posture also increases forces on the upper neck muscles and spinal vertebral disks Low back strain is a common diagnosis among workers who must sit in a slightly flexed forward position Under normal conditions, damaged tissue is repaired during rest periods, but in dentistry, damage often exceeds the rate of repair due to insufficient rest periods To protect the stressed area from further injury, the body uses another part of the damaged muscle to maintain the body position
