Abstract
Dental work requires considerable concentration and attention to detail. Dental professionals are concerned about patients‘ comfort, but probably pay little attention to their own until they begin to experience discomfort or pain. Today, more dentists are becoming aware of occupational hazards and paying more attention to the prevention of hazards. Ergonomics have come into the profession in a big way. Applying ergonomics to the practice of dentistry not only could provide safety benefits but a practice might also improve performance objectives through greater productivity. Thus, this paper does not intend to establish a standard of care for treating Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) or even establish particular interventions as the norm for improving comfort or productivity. Rather, the following interventions should be considered by the practitioner in light of his or her own experience and needs. These interventions require an awareness of how to fit the job to the worker and not the worker to the job.
