Musculoskeletal pain is a frequent condition among dental practitioners due to working in prolonged static isometric/eccentric contraction. The study aimed to describe musculoskeletal pain prevalence and the interplay between environmental conditions, lifestyle, and drugs consumed among Italian and Peruvian dentists.
A 18 multiple choice questionnaire was administered to Peruvian and Italian dental care practitioners. A total of 187 questionnaires were submitted. One hundred sixty-seven questionnaires were selected for the analysis, including 86 questionnaires from Italy, and 81 from Perú. The study examined musculoskeletal pain presence in dental practitioners. The prevalence of musculoskeletal pain presence was analyzed considering different parameters: gender, age, type of dental practitioners, specialization in dentistry, hours of work per day, years of work, physical activity, localization of musculoskeletal pain and the influence of musculoskeletal pain on the performance on work.
The selected questionnaires for analysis were 167 (67 from Italy and 81 from Perú). Male and female participants were numerically equal. Most of the dental practitioners were dentists. The percentage of dentists who present musculoskeletal pain is 87.2% in Italy and 91.4% in Perú ( < 0.05).
Musculoskeletal pain represents a very diffused condition in dental practitioners. The results about the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain show how the two populations (Italian and Peruvian) are very similar despite the geographical distance. Nevertheless, the high percentages of musculoskeletal pain in dental practitioners translate into the need to use solutions to reduce its onsets, such as improving ergonomics and physical activity.
由于长时间处于静态等长/离心收缩状态，肌肉骨骼疼痛是牙科医生常见的病症。本研究旨在描述意大利和秘鲁牙医的肌肉骨骼疼痛患病率以及环境条件、生活方式和所使用药物之间的相互作用。
向秘鲁和意大利的牙科保健医生发放了一份包含 18 个多项选择题的问卷。共提交了 187 份问卷。选择了 167 份问卷进行分析，其中包括 86 份来自意大利的问卷和 81 份来自秘鲁的问卷。该研究调查了牙科从业者肌肉骨骼疼痛的存在情况。考虑到不同参数，分析了肌肉骨骼疼痛存在的患病率：性别、年龄、牙科从业者类型、牙科专业、每天工作时间、工作年限、身体活动、肌肉骨骼疼痛的定位以及肌肉骨骼疼痛对工作表现的影响。
选择用于分析的问卷有 167 份（意大利 67 份，秘鲁 81 份）。男性和女性参与者人数相等。大多数牙科医生都是牙医。患有肌肉骨骼疼痛的牙医比例为意大利 87.2%，秘鲁 91.4%（<0.05）。
肌肉骨骼疼痛是牙科医生中非常普遍的病症。肌肉骨骼疼痛患病率的研究结果表明，尽管地理位置不同，但这两个群体（意大利和秘鲁）非常相似。然而，牙医中肌肉骨骼疼痛的高百分比表明需要采取措施来减少其发病，例如改善人体工程学和身体活动。
