ABSTRACT

Introduction: Musculoskeletal injuries are the most common cause of severe long-term pain and physical disability in the individual. Objective: We identified the prevalence of musculoskeletal complaints in dentists of university dental clinics in Cartagena de Indias, northern Colombia. Material and method: The study is cross-sectional and descriptive with a sample of 100 dentists who answered a socio-demographic survey and the Nordic Kuorinka standardized questionnaire, in order to detect and analyze musculoskeletal anomalies or symptoms by affected body segment in dental practice. Results: 67% of dentists presented discomfort in the neck and 65% in the lumbar region. The ergonomic exposures identified advice preventive actions, since few dentists did not report any musculoskeletal discomfort according to body segments.
