 Abstract

The term work-related Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) refers to musculoskeletal disorders to which the work environment significantly contributes or that are made worse or prolonged by work conditions or workplace risk factors. Dental auxiliaries, dental hygienists, and dental assistants are prone to work-related MSDs involving the neck, shoulder, wrist, elbow, hand, and lower back, caused by the following risk factors: awkward postures, forceful exertions, repetitive motions, contact stresses, vibration, and the duration of exposure to these risk factors.
