Abstract

Introduction: This study aimed at assessment and evaluation of the effect of ERGONOMIC INTERVENTION on reducing MUSCULOSKELETAL DISORDERS. Materials and Method: In order to keep a record of the history of the individuals suffering from WMSDs, questionnaires were distributed among the DENTISTS to evaluate their working - POSTURE. RAPID ENTIRE BODY ASSESSMENT (REBA) was adopted as observational technique. In order to perform ergonomic optimization of working - POSTURE, the principles of human - CENTERED ERGONOMICS were taught. These principles are called "Performance Logic", since they allow individuals to pose the most natural method of practice in dentistry without having to risk one's health, job or patient.Results: The results showed that over 90% of the DENTISTS complained about pain in at least one part of their body during last year. Most individuals suffered from neck (63%) and shoulder (62%) pain. 10 to 15 percent of the DENTISTS had work - related absenteeism due to these disorders. The findings of REBA indicated that 94% of the DENTISTS were above moderate risk range, 60% of the individuals were at medium risk level and 34% had high-risk level. These results confirmed the necessity and emergency of effective ERGONOMIC INTERVENTIONs for dental care workers. After intervention, the REBA scores and risk level were significantly reduced (p<0.05). The feeling of pain in the neck, shoulder and upper back also significantly decreased. However, the pain in other organs did not change dramatically.Conclusion: Following the principles of "performance logic", DENTISTS can offer better oral-care; they can also increase their productivity and profitability.
