Abstract

Objective: Adopting correct body postures is extremely essential in preventing future musculoskeletal disorders in Dentists. The aim of this study was to evaluate the body posture of general and specialist dentists to find awkward body postures, badly postured body parts and the risk of developing future MSDs. Methods: Stratified sampling method was used to recruit 224 dentists in Kerman and Mashhad. The most frequently adopted body posture was selected and based on Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method, scores were given to the angulation of different body parts. T-test and ANOVA test were performed to analyze the data. Results: About 10% of dentists had a REBA score which showed a high or very high risk of developing MSDs. Specialists and general dentists were not different in terms of REBA score. Among different specialties, periodontists had the highest REBA score. Overall, forearms and neck had the highest REBA score. Conclusion: General dentists and all dental specialties (except operative dentists) were at moderate risk of developing MSDs. Periodontists were at higher risk of developing MSDs. Based on REBA, the forearm and the neck were the most badly postured body parts.

Abstract

Objective: The prevalence of bruxism in the literature has been reported differently. The aim of this study was to assess the prevalence of bruxism in patients aged 25–40 who were referred to Kerman Dental School. Methods: This analytical descriptive cross-sectional study was performed on 320 patients referred to the Department of Oral Medicine of Kerman Dentistry Faculty in the age range of 25 to 40 years old. The prevalence of bruxism as well as TMJ disorders were evaluated. Data were collected in a questionnaire and entered into SPSS version 24. Analyzing was done by a chi-square test at a significant level of 0.05. Results: The prevalence of bruxism was 23.8%, with superiority in women. Although clenching was observed in 95.5% of the patients, 84.4% showed premature contacts on teeth, most of them related to the non-working side, and 82.9% presented premature contacts on restorations, especially on the non-working side. Regarding TMD symptoms, pain was the most common (83.4%), and clicking and crepitus were seen in 42% and 6% of the patients, respectively. Also, in 63.7% of the subjects with bruxism, jaw deviation was observed, and 18.7% showed restricted jaw movement. Conclusion: The prevalence of bruxism in the studied population is in the range of similar studies. Regarding TMD, troublesome symptoms such as pain, jaw deviation, and limited mouth opening were the only ones significantly related to bruxism.
