Abstract
Back ground: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSD) represent an important occupational health issue in dentistry. Aim: To investigate the prevalence, impact of MSD and its prevention among post graduate students, academic endodontists faculty in the department of conservative dentistry and endodontics in dental colleges and consulting endodontists in Hyderabad, Telangana state. Materials and Methods: A questionnaire survey about musculoskeletal pain in different parts of the body was completed by post graduate students, academic endodontists faculty in the department of conservative dentistry and endodontics in the dental colleges and consulting endodontists in Hyderabad. The descriptive data was analysed using Statistical Package of Social Science (SPSS) software 18.0 version. Results: The most prevelant musculoskeletal complaints were reported at the back ( 85.7% ) followed by pain in the wrist/hand( 80%).There was also an association between years of experience, duration of break during work and use of protective equipment with the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain among respondents. Conclusion: The study results suggest that effective intervention strategies most likely have to take into account both ergonomic improvements and cognitive-behavioural aspects.
