Abstract

The purpose of this study was to investigate the characteristics related to the musculoskeletal disorders in pediatric dentists and general dentists. This study was conducted based on the survey results of a total of 109 dentists who have been working for the last year. Forty - three pediatric dentists and 66 general dentists were surveyed through online survey tool. Both pediatric dentists and general dentists mainly complained of musculoskeletal disorders in the neck, shoulders, wrists, and back. Most pediatric dentists usually suffered from back pain due to their unbalanced posture while giving dental treatments. Pediatric dentists in sedative treatment felt more pain in particular part of their body, such as neck and shoulder. Regular exercise and stretching for the prevention of musculoskeletal disorder have been shown to mainly relieve pain in the back but no other parts in their body.

이 연구는 소아 진료 치과의사와 성인 진료 치과의사의 근골격계질환 발생관 관련되는 요인을 알아보고자 하였다. 최근 1년 동안 근무를 하는 치과의사 중 온라인을 통해 설문 조사에 참여한 43명의 소아 진료 치과의사와 66명의 성인 진료 치과의사, 총 109명의 설문 조사지를 분석 평가하였다. 소아 진료 치과의사 및 성인 진료 치과의사 모두 목, 어깨, 손목, 허리에서 주로 근골격계 통증 및 불편을 호소하였다. 소아 진료 치과의사는 치료 시 주로 허리에서 불편한 자세로 통증을 느끼며 진료하였다. 소아 진료 치과의사의 약물진정치료시에는 목과 어깨에서 통증을 더 많이 느꼈다. 근골격계 통증의 예방을 위한 규칙적인 운동 및 스트레칭은 허리에서만 통증을 경감시키는 것으로 나타났다.
