The questionnaire instrument contains questions about gender, age, weight, height, smoking habits, how long to sleep in a day, exercise habits, length of work and length of service. There is also a standard questionnaire , namely the Nordic Body Map to evaluate musculoskeletal disorders in individuals. Data analysis used the chi-square test and multiple logistic regression test. Results: The highest MSDs were reported to occur in the upper back (69.8 % ) followed by the lower back (67.3%) and neck (63.6%) while the lowest prevalence was reported in the ankle (8.6%). Gender, length of service, length of service and exercise habits are associated with the occurrence of MSDs. Conclusion: The prevalence of MSDs among young dentists is still high.
