Ergonomics aims to optimize human well-being and system performance through understanding interactions between humans and other elements. Dentists face musculoskeletal disorders from uncomfortable postures during work. Occupational diseases are increasing, with musculoskeletal disorders among the most common due to improper ergonomics. Applying ergonomic principles can help reduce risks like static postures and muscle imbalances while increasing productivity, safety, quality and decreasing fatigue through measures like maintaining good posture, alternating tasks, and adjusting equipment height.
Occupational hazards are common in the field of dentistry. Dentists face a variety of biological, physical, ergonomic, and psychological hazards. Biological hazards, like exposure to Hepatitis B and HIV, pose serious risks due to the potential for transmission through needle sticks or contact with blood and saliva. Dentists have a higher risk of contracting certain infections compared to the general population. Other common occupational hazards for dentists include musculoskeletal problems, noise exposure, radiation exposure, allergic reactions, and job-related stress. Proper training, immunization, and safety precautions are needed to help protect dental workers from the various occupational health risks they may encounter.
Dentists are exposed to a variety of occupational hazards including biological, physical, chemical, ergonomic and radiation hazards. Biological hazards include exposure to infectious diseases from patients through direct or indirect contact with bodily fluids. Physical hazards include injuries from sharp instruments. Chemical hazards stem from exposure to substances like mercury and latex. Prolonged awkward postures and repetitive motions can cause musculoskeletal disorders. Radiation exposure occurs from dental X-rays. Proper precautions like barriers, hygiene protocols, protective equipment, ergonomic practices and radiation monitoring can help prevent or minimize these occupational hazards for dentists.
Orthodontic tooth movements and biomechanics.Sk Aziz Ikbal
The document discusses biomechanics principles related to orthodontic tooth movement. It covers topics such as:
- Forces applied to teeth can cause movement through bone remodeling.
- Biomechanics refers to mechanics applied to biological systems. Knowledge of forces is needed to control orthodontic treatment.
- Teeth can move through light forces during normal function but heavier sustained forces over 1 second are needed for orthodontic tooth movement.
- Forces have magnitude and direction, while scalars only have magnitude. Resultant forces and moments from multiple applied forces are calculated.
- Different force systems and moment-to-force ratios produce different types of tooth movement such as tipping, translation, rotation, and torque.
Musculoskeletal disorders and ergonomics in dentistryabbassheidari68
This document discusses musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) and ergonomics in dentistry. It defines MSDs as conditions involving nerves, tendons, muscles and supporting structures. Common MSDs for dentists include neck and shoulder disorders, back disorders, and hand and wrist disorders. Prolonged static postures, forceful exertions, repetitive movements, and vibrations from tools are key risk factors. The document recommends ergonomic practices like adjustable equipment, proper posture, and frequent breaks to reduce MSD risks for dental professionals.
The document discusses ergonomics in dentistry. It defines ergonomics as the study of work and outlines goals of improving job processes, reducing injury risk, and minimizing fatigue. Risk factors for musculoskeletal disorders in dentistry are identified, including prolonged static postures and repetitive motions. The document recommends applying ergonomic strategies like proper positioning, magnification, four-handed dentistry using an assistant, and work simplification techniques to reduce injury risks.
The document describes the process of finishing and polishing dentures before insertion. Key steps include: 1) Removing the dentures from the master casts using plaster knives and acrylic burs; 2) Finishing and polishing the dentures using acrylic burs, pumice, and rag wheels to smooth surfaces and contours; 3) Fabricating remount casts by blocking out undercuts and embedding the dentures in plaster. The remount casts are used to mount the dentures on the articulator for the clinical remount procedure.
1. Etchant acid, also known as phosphoric acid, is used to condition tooth enamel prior to placing restorative materials like resins, sealants, and adhesive cements. It demineralizes the enamel, creating micro pores to achieve a strong bond between the material and tooth.
2. The acid is applied for 15-60 seconds and then rinsed thoroughly before the restorative material is placed. This micro-etching of the enamel improves retention of the restoration.
3. For ceramics, hydrofluoric acid is used which also etches the material by creating channels, allowing chemical bonding between the ceramic, silane, and resin for strong adhesion.
The human mandible can be related to the maxilla in several positions in the horizontal plane. Among these centric relation is a significant position, because of its usefulness in relating the dentulous and edentulous mandible to maxilla, where the teeth , muscles and temporomandibular joint function in harmony. It is a position of occluso-articular harmony.
The document discusses Wolff's law which states that bone remodels in response to stresses placed upon it. It then discusses different types of functional appliances used in orthodontics including myotonic appliances which rely on muscle mass/resting pressure and myodynamic appliances which make use of muscle activity/movement. The controversy around the degree of bite opening with appliances like activators is also summarized. The document argues that light bite opening may stimulate muscles and growth, while more opening relies on soft tissue stretching.
This document discusses balanced occlusion for complete dentures. It defines key terms like centric relation and eccentric relation. Balanced occlusion aims to distribute forces evenly across both sides of the denture during jaw movements to prevent tipping. Factors that influence balanced occlusion include condylar guidance, incisal guidance, occlusal plane, compensating curves, and cusp inclination. The document outlines Hanau's theories on achieving balanced occlusion through adjusting these five factors. Different types of balanced occlusion like unilateral, bilateral, protrusive and lateral are also described. The conclusion emphasizes that each case requires evaluation of all relevant anatomical and biomechanical factors to favor denture stability without harming supporting tissues.
Patient and operator position simplifiedmithunkashyap
This document discusses dental ergonomics and the proper positioning of dental chairs, patients, and operators. It notes that the first specialized dental chair was invented in 1790 using a modified Windsor chair. Modern dental chairs are designed to support the patient's body in any position and reduce strain on the neck. For procedures, patients may be seated in an almost supine or 45-degree reclined position. Proper operator positioning is also important for visibility, accessibility, and to avoid musculoskeletal disorders, with forearms parallel to the floor and other guidelines provided.
Occupational hazards that dentists and dental staff face include physical, chemical, biological, mechanical, and psychosocial risks. Physical hazards involve heat, light, noise, radiation, and sharps that can cause injuries. Chemical hazards such as mercury, methacrylates, silica, and beryllium can cause poisoning if proper precautions are not taken. Biological risks include transmitting infections like HIV, HBV, HCV, and TB through needlesticks or contact with blood and saliva. Repetitive motions and uncomfortable postures can lead to musculoskeletal disorders. Stress from patient expectations and emergency situations impacts psychosocial health if not managed. Proper training, protective equipment, vaccination, ergonomics, and self-care

Temporomandibular joint and muscle disorders (TMJ) cause jaw pain and dysfunction. There are three main types: myofascial pain involving jaw muscles, internal derangement involving a displaced disc or joint injury, and arthritis. Causes include trauma, teeth grinding, hormones, genetics, and stress. Treatment involves heat/ice, soft diet, jaw exercises, relaxation techniques, and over-the-counter anti-inflammatory drugs. More severe cases may require physical therapy, splints, injections, or surgery like arthrocentesis, arthroscopy, or disc removal.
This document provides an overview of temporomandibular disorders (TMD). It discusses the history and description of TMD, including early terminology. Etiology is multifactorial and can be predisposing, precipitating, or perpetuating factors like occlusion, trauma, stress, and parafunctional habits. Common signs and symptoms include pain, joint sounds like clicking or crepitus, and limited jaw movement. Pain can originate from muscles, the TM joint, or dentition and be caused by factors like trauma, fatigue, or inflammation. Joint sounds result from irregular surfaces or uncoordinated movement. Limitation of movement can stem from muscle restriction, disk displacement, ligaments, or dislocation.
While low back pain is the most common type, middle-back pain is just as uncomfortable, debilitating and becoming more prevalent with more and more people suffering from postural deficits.
This document provides information on many common sports injuries organized by body part. It describes the most frequent ankle injuries like ankle sprains and Achilles tendon ruptures. It also covers knee injuries, injuries to the thigh, hip, lower back, shoulders and injuries associated with the elbow, wrist, hand and fingers. For each injury, it lists symptoms and potential treatments.

Cell Therapy Expansion and Challenges in Autoimmune DiseaseHealth Advances
There is increasing confidence that cell therapies will soon play a role in the treatment of autoimmune disorders, but the extent of this impact remains to be seen. Early readouts on autologous CAR-Ts in lupus are encouraging, but manufacturing and cost limitations are likely to restrict access to highly refractory patients. Allogeneic CAR-Ts have the potential to broaden access to earlier lines of treatment due to their inherent cost benefits, however they will need to demonstrate comparable or improved efficacy to established modalities.
In addition to infrastructure and capacity constraints, CAR-Ts face a very different risk-benefit dynamic in autoimmune compared to oncology, highlighting the need for tolerable therapies with low adverse event risk. CAR-NK and Treg-based therapies are also being developed in certain autoimmune disorders and may demonstrate favorable safety profiles. Several novel non-cell therapies such as bispecific antibodies, nanobodies, and RNAi drugs, may also offer future alternative competitive solutions with variable value propositions.
Widespread adoption of cell therapies will not only require strong efficacy and safety data, but also adapted pricing and access strategies. At oncology-based price points, CAR-Ts are unlikely to achieve broad market access in autoimmune disorders, with eligible patient populations that are potentially orders of magnitude greater than the number of currently addressable cancer patients. Developers have made strides towards reducing cell therapy COGS while improving manufacturing efficiency, but payors will inevitably restrict access until more sustainable pricing is achieved.
Despite these headwinds, industry leaders and investors remain confident that cell therapies are poised to address significant unmet need in patients suffering from autoimmune disorders. However, the extent of this impact on the treatment landscape remains to be seen, as the industry rapidly approaches an inflection point.
Muktapishti is a traditional Ayurvedic preparation made from Shoditha Mukta (Purified Pearl), is believed to help regulate thyroid function and reduce symptoms of hyperthyroidism due to its cooling and balancing properties. Clinical evidence on its efficacy remains limited, necessitating further research to validate its therapeutic benefits.
