Resumen
Antecedentes: Los trastornos musculoesqueléticos (TME) están relacionados al trabajo dental, y son un factor de riesgo principal para la salud de los odontólogos. La prevalencia de enfermedades y dolor en odontólogos oscila entre 64 y 93%.
Objetivo: Determinar el riesgo predisponente a causar TME y la presencia de dolor musculoesquelético por las posturas adoptadas durante el trabajo clínico de estudiantes de la “Clínica de adulto mayor y senescente II” de 5to año de Odontología de la Universidad Finis Terrae, durante el año 2023.
Materiales y métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo de corte transversal en una población de 24 estudiantes de 5to año de la carrera de odontología de la Universidad Finis Terrae el año 2023. Se realizó el Cuestionario Nórdico de Kuorinka para caracterizar el dolor musculoesqueletal y el Método Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA), tomando fotografías durante la atención clínica para determinar el nivel de riesgo a padecer TME y evaluar su relación.
Resultados: De un universo de 30 estudiantes, participaron 24, 75% mujeres y 25% hombres. El 66,7% obtuvo riesgo alto de padecer TME, el 16,7% muy alto y el 16,7% medio; No hubo diferencias relevantes según sexo. El 95,8% presentó molestias, el 79,2% en Dorsal/lumbar y el 75% en Cuello.
Discusiones y conclusiones: A pesar de los niveles de riesgo elevados y sintomatología dolorosa presente, el dolor predominante no fue el más duradero o intenso, coincidente con otros estudios internacionales.
Background: Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) are related to dental work, and are a main risk factor for dentist’s health. It has been shown that the prevalence of musculoskeletal diseases and pain in dentists ranges between 64 and 93%. Objective: To determine the predisposing risk of causing TME and the presence of musculoskeletal pain due to the postures adopted during the clinical work of “Clinic for the elderly and senescent II” of 5th year dentistry students. Materials and methods: A descriptive cross-sectional study was carried out in a population of 24 5th year students of the dental school at the Finis Terrae University in 2023. They answered the Kuorinka Nordic Questionnaire to characterize musculoskeletal pain and the Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) method, taking photographs during clinical care to measure the level of risk of suffering from MSDs and evaluate their relationship. Results: From a universe of 30 students, 24 participated, 75% women and 25% men. 66.7% of the students had a high risk of suffering musculoskeletal injuries due to inadequate postures, 16.7% a very high risk and 16.7% a medium risk; No relevant differences according to sex were evident. 95.8% of the students presented musculoskeletal discomfort, 79.2% in the Dorsal/lumbar region, 75% in the Neck region and 62.5% in the Hand/wrist region. Discussions and conclusions: Despite presenting high risk levels in the population and painful symptoms, there was no mostly more intense or lasting pain, coinciding with other international studies.
