Abstract(s)
As lesões músculo-esqueléticas são comuns entre os profissionais de saúde, nomeadamente entre os dentistas devido às horas seguidas de trabalho, poucos intervalos entre pacientes e uso de equipamento com um desenho ergonómico incorreto.
São comuns as complicações vasculares dos membros inferiores, as lombalgias, a dor na articulação lombo-sacral e as dores cervicais e nos ombros. A cadeira ou o banco devem ter do clínico uma adequada ergonomia, assim como a própria postura do profissional evitando posições verticais sem apoios e ortostáticas. No consultório de dentária a iluminação das áreas de trabalho deve ser um fator crescente na prevenção das lesões músculo-esqueléticas, assim como a vibração de instrumentos rotatórios que podem conduzir a lesões como tendinites e artroses.
É necessário identificar os fatores de risco das lesões, nomeadamente a postura ocupacional inadequada e adotar medidas preventivas, de modo a melhorar a qualidade de vida do profissional.
Musculoskeletal injuries are common among health care professionals, particularly among dentists due to the hours of work, short intervals between patients, and use of equipment with an incorrect ergonomic design. Vascular complications of lower limbs, low back pain, lumbosacral joint pain, and neck and shoulder pain are common. The chair or bench should take into account adequate ergonomics as well as the dentist's own posture avoiding vertical positions without supports and orthotics. In the dental office the lighting of work areas should be a factor to be taken into account in the prevention of musculoskeletal injuries, as well as the vibration of rotating instruments that can lead to injuries such as tendonitis and arthrosis. It is necessary to identify the risk factors of the injuries, namely the inadequate occupational posture, and to adopt preventive measures in order to improve the quality of life of the professional.
