2. Alterations due to lack of ergonomic
practice in dentistry.
Ergonomic practice is essential in dentistry to prevent various
physical and mental alterations that can affect the dentist.
Below are the main alterations that may occur:
Physical alterations.1.
Mental alterations.2.

3. Musculoskeletal Pain:1.
Back Pain: Slouched or forward-leaning posture can cause strain on the
spine and back muscles. Over time, this can lead to conditions such as
lordosis and kyphosis.
Neck and Shoulder Pain: Keeping the neck in a fixed and elevated
position during prolonged procedures can cause tension and pain in the
neck and shoulder muscles. This can result in disorders such as whiplash
syndrome.
Upper Limb Pain: Constant and repetitive use of the hands and arms for
dental procedures can cause pain and stiffness in the muscles and joints.
2. Carpal Tunnel Syndrome:
Caused by the compression of the median nerve in the wrist, this
syndrome is characterized by pain, numbness, and tingling in the
fingers. Repetitive activities and improper wrist postures are
contributing factors.
Physical Alterations:

4. 3. Spinal Problems:
Disc Herniations: Constant pressure on the intervertebral discs can lead
to the protrusion or herniation of these discs, causing severe pain and
potential nerve damage.
Scoliosis: Asymmetric postures maintained for long periods can
contribute to the abnormal curvature of the spine.
4. Visual Fatigue:
Inadequate lighting and constant focus on small areas can cause visual
fatigue. This can manifest as blurred vision, headaches, and eye strain.
Physical Alterations:

5. Anxiety and Depression:
The workload, combined with the constant pressure
to provide precise dental care, can lead to anxiety and
depression. The lack of work-life balance can also
exacerbate these problems.
Mental disorders

6. Stress:
Long working hours, the need for precision, and the
responsibility of procedures can generate significant
levels of stress. Chronic stress can lead to mental and
physical health problems, including hypertension and
cardiovascular diseases.
Mental disorders

7. Alterations due to improper
dental practice.
Carrera Rios
It is crucial to consider the risk factors and how to avoid
them to prevengt the alterations that can arise from
improper dental practice

8. Main alterations
Neuromuscular problems :
These problems affect both muscles and nerves,
resulting in pain, weakness, and loss of
functionality. Dentists are particularly
vulnerable to these problems due to the repetitive
postures and movements required in their work
Carrera Rios

9. It is vital that dentists adopt appropriate ergonomic practices to ensure their long-term
health. Some recommendations include:
Adopting Correct Postures:
Description: Maintain a neutral posture that minimizes tension in the spine and limbs.
Recommendations: Adjust the chair and dental equipment to keep the back straight and
feet firmly on the floor.
Change positions regularly to avoid stiffness.
Promotion of Self-Care:

10. Es vital que los odontólogos adopten prácticas ergonómicas adecuadas para garantizar su
salud a largo plazo.
Algunas recomendaciones incluyen:
Adoptar Posturas Correctas:
● Descripción: Mantener una postura neutra que minimice la tensión en la columna vertebral y
las extremidades.
● Recomendaciones: Ajustar la silla y el equipo dental para mantener la espalda recta y los pies
firmemente apoyados en el suelo.
Cambiar de posición regularmente para evitar la rigidez.
Promotion of Self-Care:

11. Promotion of Self-Care:
Use of Ergonomic Equipment:
Description: Use tools and equipment
designed to reduce tension in the
body.
Recommendations: Adjustable chairs,
magnifying loupes to improve vision
without straining the neck, and
dental tools that reduce the need for
repetitive movements.
Uso de Equipos Ergonómicos: ● Descripción: Utilizar
herramientas y equipos diseñados para reducir la tensión en el
cuerpo.
Recomendaciones: Sillas ajustables, lupas de aumento para
mejorar la visión sin forzar el cuello, y herramientas dentales
que reduzcan la necesidad de movimientos repetitivos.

12. Promotion of Self-Care:
Stretching Breaks and Exercises:
• Description: Integrate regular breaks and stretching
exercises into the daily routine to relieve muscle
tension.
• Recommendations: Schedule breaks every hour to
perform basic stretching of the neck, shoulders, back
and wrists. Incorporate muscle strengthening exercises
into the daily routine.

13. Promotion of Self-Care:
Promoting self-care not only improves the physical and mental health of the dentist,
but also guarantees a safer and more effective professional practice. Adapting these
recommendations can contribute significantly to the prevention of neuromuscular
disorders and other health problems related to ergonomics in dentistry.
