Abstract

The term of ‘ergonomics’ shortly means ‘work laws’ and it is a discipline that, trying ‘to fit the job to the worker, not the worker to the job’. In dentistry, ergonomics provides to dentists and dental personel doing well performances by keeping their own health and physical conditions. ‘Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSD)’ is the largest category of the injuries that occurred as a result of non-ergonomic practices. Its prevalence varies between 62-93% among dentists. There is a wide variety of MSD in the literature, but the most frequents are ‘Carpal Tunnel Syndrome’ and ‘Low Back Pain’. In this rewiev, the evolution of ergonomics in dentistry is mentioned. Furthermore, general symptoms of the MSD that occurred as a result of non-ergonomic practices, magnitude of the problem created by and their prevalence in dentistry are elaborated.

Özet

Ergonomi terimi, kısaca ‘iş yasaları’ anlamında- dır ve ‘çalışanın iş ortamına değil, iş ortamının çalışana uygun hale getirilmesi’ için çalışan bir disiplindir. Diş hekimliği mesleğinde ergonomi; hekimlerin ve diğer diş hekimliği çalışanlarının, kendi sağlıklarını ve fiziksel koşullarını riske atmayacak biçimde bir performans gerçekleştirmelerini sağlamaktadır. Ergonomiye uygun olmayan çalışmalar sonu- cunda oluşan hasarların en büyük sınıfını ‘Muskulo- skeletal Bozukluklar (MSD)’ oluşturmaktadır ve diş hekimlerinde prevalansı % 62-93 arasında değişmek- tedir. Literatürde tanımlanmış çok çeşitli MSD bulun- maktadır. Bunlardan en sık rastlanılanları; ‘Karpal Tünel Sendromu’ ve ‘Bel Ağrıları’dır. Bu makalede, ergonomi biliminin diş hekimli- ğindeki gelişiminden bahsedilmektedir. Ayrıca, ergono- mik olmayan çalışmalar sonucu oluşan muskuloskeletal hastalıkların semptomları, ortaya çıkardığı problemlerin boyutları ve diş hekimlerindeki prevalansları üzerinde durulmaktadır.
