Abstract

Poor working posture among dental practitioners has been known to cause musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs), which are made worse by lengthy procedures and a lack of awareness about the proper working posture. Objectives: To assess the working posture of clinical dental students to determine if interventions were needed to reduce MSDs. Methods: The working postures of 225 clinical dental students were recorded and assessed within 10 minutes into procedures from March-December 2019, using the Rapid Upper Limb Assessment (RULA) method. The results were then statistically analysed using chi-square and Fisher’s exact tests. Results: Of the 225 students observed, 64 (28.4%; 95% CI: 23.1-35.7%) were classified as having RULA scores of 1-2 and 3-4, 141 (62.7%; 95% CI: 58.4- 65.7%) had RULA scores of 5-6 and 19 (8.4%; 95% CI:5.3-12.4%) had RULA scores of 7. Only one student had a RULA score of 1-2, where posture was considered acceptable. The working postures of the students in year 4 (P<0.001) were worse than those of the students in the other clinical years. No significant difference was observed concerning gender variance. Conclusion: Students’ working postures should be evaluated frequently, and other tools, for example, dental loupes, should be provided to help them maintain good working postures.

Abstract

Objective: To investigate the association between oral health status and oral health-related quality of life (OHRQoL) in older adults with diabetes mellitus (DM). Methods: A cross-sectional study involving participants aged 60 and above from a Malaysian healthcare facility utilized structured interviews using the Geriatric Oral Health Assessment Index (GOHAI) questionnaire. Intraoral assessments, including BPE, DMFT index, evaluation of edentulism and assessment of restoration/denture type/quality, were conducted. Statistical analysis included independent sample t-test, one-way ANOVA, nonparametric, and correlation coefficient tests. Results: Among 69 participants (36 with DM, 33 without), with a mean age of 65.97 years, no significant differences in GOHAI scores were found between gender and diabetic status. However, distinctions concerning age were observed in GOHAI scores. Most participants reported poor OHRQoL, with a mean GOHAI score of 45.0 (±7.5). A notable difference was found in the pain and discomfort dimension of GOHAI between diabetic and non-diabetic participants. Conclusion: DM may affect specific dimensions of OHRQoL among older adults, highlighting the importance of comprehensive oral health assessments and tailored interventions. These findings contribute to understanding the diabetes-oral health relationship, informing strategies for improving oral health and quality of life among older adults with DM.
