Abstract

OBJECTIVE: This study aimed at investigating the relationships between health and work-related musculoskeletal disorders (WMSDs) in dentists, and the relationship with socio-demographic, work and health variables.METHODS: We conducted a cross-sectional study of 204 dentists who work in public clinics in the state of São Paulo, Brazil. We used a self-administered survey that included questions on sociodemographic and health aspects, work-related factors, and the Nordic questionnaire.RESULTS: WMSDs were often reported in the neck, shoulder, lower back, and hand/wrists. Logistic regression analysis revealed that there was a correlation between reports of WMSD in the neck and age (OR = 9.48) and health problems (OR = 6.71). Moreover, strong associations were found between MSDs in the shoulders, gender (OR = 5.88) and breaks between appointments (OR = 4.17).CONCLUSION: We concluded that the health problems diagnosed, work-related activities and gender contributed to musculoskeletal disorders in dentists in this clinic.

圣保罗巴西牙医的肌肉骨骼疾病

目的：本研究旨在调查牙医的健康与工作相关肌肉骨骼疾病（WMSD）之间的关系，以及与社会人口学、工作和健康变量的关系。方法：我们对在巴西圣保罗州公共诊所工作的204名牙医进行了横断面研究。我们使用了一项自我管理的调查，其中包括社会人口和健康方面的问题、与工作相关的因素和北欧问卷。结果：WMSD常见于颈部、肩部、下背部和手/手腕。Logistic回归分析显示，颈部WMSD的报告与年龄（OR=9.48）和健康问题（OR=6.71）之间存在相关性。此外，肩部MSD、性别（OR=5.88）和预约间隔（OR=4.17）之间存在很强的相关性，与工作相关的活动和性别导致了该诊所牙医的肌肉骨骼疾病。
