Abstract

In dentistry, before ergonomical arrangements, existing risk factors must be evaluated. The main ergonomical risk factors in dentistry can be categorized as environmental risk factors, working type related risk factors, posture related risk factors, equipmental risk factors and psychosocial risk factors. If, a balance between working and resting is achieved and ergonomical principles are applied to dental clinics and if the appropriate working strategies can be improved, disorders that occurred as a result of non-ergonomic practices, can be prevented. In this review, ergonomical risk factors in dentistry and ergonomic arrangements that necessary in dental clinics are mentioned.

Özet

Diş hekimliği kliniklerinde yapılacak ergonomik düzenlemelerden önce, mevcut risk faktörleri iyi değerlendirilmelidir. Diş hekimliğinde başlıca ergonomik risk faktörleri; çevresel risk faktörleri, çalışma biçimi ile ilgili risk faktörleri, duruş ile ilgili risk faktörleri, kullanılan araç-gereçler ile ilgili risk faktörleri ve psikososyal risk faktörleri olarak sınıflandırılabilir. Çalışma ve dinlenme arasında bir denge kurulabildiği, diş hekimliği kliniklerinde ergonomik düzenlemelerin yapılabildiği ve uygun çalışma stratejileri geliştirilebilindiği takdirde, ergonomik olmayan çalışmalara bağlı oluşan hasarlar önlenebilmektedir. Bu makalede, diş hekimliğinde ergonomik risk faktörleri ve diş hekimliği kliniklerinde yapılması gereken ergonomik düzenlemelerden bahsedilmektedir.
