The authors wished to evaluate the comprehensive literature on carpal tunnel syndrome to discover work specific to carpal tunnel syndrome among dentists in order to determine whether there is any correlation with dentists having a higher prevalence of its occurrence.
A review of dental literature involving carpal tunnel syndrome was undertaken. Details appearing in the literature before 1995 was reviewed in a comprehensive manner and the literature after 1995 were reviewed electronically.
The prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome is higher in dental professionals involved in various aspects of dental specialties.
Abnormal postures, including muscle imbalances, muscle necrosis, trigger points, hypomobile joints, nerve compression and spinal disk herniation or degeneration may result in serious detrimental physiological changes in the body. These changes often result in pain, injury or possible neuroskeletal disorders.
Dentists have an increased risk of carpal tunnel syndrome and precautions and care should be exercised to prevent detrimental irreversible changes occurring.
作者希望评估有关腕管综合征的综合文献，以发现专门针对牙医的腕管综合征工作，以确定其发生是否与牙医的患病率有任何关联。
对涉及腕管综合征的牙科文献进行了回顾。全面回顾了 1995 年以前文献中的详细信息，并通过电子方式查阅了 1995 年以后的文献。
从事各种牙科专业的牙科专业人员中，腕管综合征的患病率较高。
异常姿势，包括肌肉失衡、肌肉坏死、触发点、关节活动度降低、神经压迫以及椎间盘突出或退变，可能导致身体严重的有害生理变化。这些变化通常会导致疼痛、损伤或可能的神经骨骼疾病。
牙医患腕管综合征的风险增加，应采取预防措施并谨慎护理，以防止发生有害的不可逆变化。
