Abstract

Poor ergonomics in dentistry contributes to musculoskeletal disorders in dental professionals over time. Incorrect posture can lead to pain in the neck, back, shoulders, elbows, etc. The worldwide prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders in dentistry ranges from 63 to 93%. Students’ postural habits typically develop early on in their academic career carrying over to their professional tenure. Therefore, promoting proper ergonomics in dental school curriculum is advisable aiming for a healthier lifestyle for dentists throughout their career as supported in the literature. Although ergonomics is an important part of education in dentistry there are no consistent standards for dental education. This pilot was intended to initiate curriculum content beyond the classroom.
