Abstract

Dentists are typically at high risk of developing low back pain (LBP) due to their working position. Therefore, this study aimed to evaluate the role of ergonomic interventions in preventing LBP. The study procedures were carried out using a scoping review method with Boolean search based on PCC (Population, Concept, and Context) on PubMed, Wiley, and Google Scholar. Article management and selection process was then conducted using Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses extension for Scoping Reviews (PRISMA-ScR) as a guide. Inclusion criteria were experimental articles from 2011 to 2021, while exclusion criteria included scoping, rapid, and systematic reviews, gray literature, or papers that were not fully accessible. A total of 1775 articles were obtained and only 12 were selected with a total of 557 participants. The selected articles consisted of 2, 1, and 7 in the work environment, organizational, and individual domains, respectively, while 2 articles had more than 1 ergonomic intervention in different domains. The results showed that ergonomic interventions could prevent LBP among dentists. The clinical significance reported across all included articles showed that participants experienced positive changes in posture, decreased pain levels, and improved work quality after receiving the treatment across all domains.

Abstract

Introduction: Carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) is a common condition among dentists due to awkward hand positions, repetitive hand movements, mechanical pressure on the palms, strong grips, and vibration of tools involved in their work. Non-surgical therapy is recommended for mild to moderate levels of CTS, while surgical treatment may be considered for severe cases. Aim: This study aims to determine the effectiveness of various non-surgical therapy for CTS. Method: The literature search used Boolean language in PCC format on PubMed and Google Scholar databases. The literature search was according to PRISMA-ScR flow chart guidelines and 6,641 articles were obtained. 16 articles met the inclusion criteria, consisting of: splinting (n=2), local steroid injection (n=2), median nerve neuromobilisation (n=2), and journals that tested and compared a combination of non-surgical therapies or more than one non-surgical therapy (n=10). Result: This review shows that non-surgical therapies are effective for CTS patients. Conclusion: Various non-surgical treatment for CTS is effective in reducing pain and improving hand functional ability. These therapies can be an optional therapy for dentists with high CTS risk factors.

Abstract

Masalah gigi berlubang dan karang gigi merupakan masalah gigi mulut yang dapat ditemukan pada usia remaja. Akumulasi plak memicu proses demineralisasi dan menyebabkan terbentuknya gigi berlubang. Kandungan mineral dalam saliva memicu proses mineralisasi plak sehingga membentuk karang gigi. Menyikat gigi merupakan upaya pencegahan primer untuk mengurangi plak. Oleh karena itu, penyuluhan dan pelatihan kesehatan gigi mulut pada remaja berperan penting dalam meningkatkan kesadaran diri dalam memelihara kesehatan gigi mulut. Kegiatan ini bertujuan untuk meninjau efektivitas penyuluhan serta pelatihan kesehatan gigi mulut pada remaja. Kegiatan Pengabdian kepada Masyarakat yang dilaksanakan pada 23 Mei 2025 di SMKS Islam Bahagia, Kalianyar, Tambora, Jakarta Barat, DKJ Jakarta melibatkan 76 peserta usia remaja. Kegiatan meliputi penyuluhan terkait anatomi gigi dan masalah kesehatan gigi mulut, serta pelatihan menyikat gigi dengan baik. Evaluasi dilakukan melalui pretest-posttest untuk mengukur tingkat pengetahuan, serta observasi visual menggunakan disclosing solution untuk mengukur kemampuan diri dalam memelihara kebersihan gigi mulut dari plak. Terdapat peningkatan signifikan skor pengetahuan peserta setelah penyuluhan (median pretest 72,54 menjadi posttest 86,39; p<0,001). Visualisasi disclosing solution menunjukkan penurunan signifikan plak pada peserta dengan susunan gigi normal. Namun, peserta dengan gigi berjejal masih menunjukkan sisa plak yang menandakan keterbatasan efektivitas teknik menyikat gigi pada kondisi anatomi tertentu. Penyuluhan dan pelatihan memberikan dampak positif terhadap peningkatan pengetahuan dan kemampuan menyikat gigi pada remaja. Namun, keberhasilan penyuluhan dan pelatihan kesehatan gigi mulut dipengaruhi oleh kondisi individual rongga mulut. Optimalisasi penyuluhan perlu mempertimbangkan pendekatan tambahan seperti edukasi penggunaan alat bantu kebersihan gigi dan evaluasi berkala menggunakan disclosing solution.
