(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2022-11-28) Valdiviezo Malque, Juana Noheli; Rojas Ortega, Raúl Antonio
This study has a quantitative approach, a deductive method, and an applied research type. An instrument was created and validated by expert judgment to determine the frequency of musculoskeletal pain in dentists. A survey was conducted with 50 dentists working at the Clínica Internacional in the San Borja district, who met the inclusion criteria. All participating dentists signed an informed consent form before answering the provided questionnaire. It was found that 79.1% of the dentists work more than 30 hours per week, and 71.4% of those working less than 30 hours per week experience musculoskeletal pain. Additionally, 77.1% of dentists work in the private sector. Meanwhile, 80.4% of dentists with more than 5 years of professional experience and 50% of dentists with less than 5 years of experience suffer from musculoskeletal pain. Furthermore, 67.9% of dentists who work with a dental assistant and 83.3% who work without an assistant experience musculoskeletal pain. Among those dentists with musculoskeletal pain, 20.5% report pain in the neck, 59% in the lumbar and/or dorsal area, 7.7% in the elbow and/or forearm, and 12.8% in the wrist and/or hand. Conclusion: There is a high frequency of musculoskeletal pain related to factors affecting the work of dentists at Clínica Internacional.

Skin muscle pain associated with labour position in students of the dental clinic at Norbert Wiener University, Lima - 2018
(Universidad Privada Norbert Wiener, 2019-03-28) Beraun Arias, Roger Marco; Farías Vera, Javier
The objective of this research was to determine whether there is a relationship between musculoskeletal pain and work posture in students from the dental clinic at Universidad Norbert Wiener, Lima 2018. It was a correlational, inductive, and cross-sectional study, with 81 students participating. The "Nordic Kuorinka" instrument was used to identify musculoskeletal pain symptoms, and the B.H.O.P (Balance Human Operating Position) was used to assess work posture. Data processing was done using the SPSS statistical software, version 24.0, and the Chi-square test of Pearson was applied for statistical analysis. The results showed that 85% of the students experienced musculoskeletal pain, while 15% did not. In terms of anatomical regions, the neck and back were where the most symptoms were reported. Regarding work posture, 90% of the students exhibited improper posture. According to postural verification (minimal cervical flexion, distance from the head to the working field of 30–35 cm, and the operator sitting with a straight back), these were the most common postural issues. The study concluded that there is a statistically significant relationship between musculoskeletal pain and work posture in the neck and back areas among students.
