N2  - This study was done at the dentistry outpatient clinics of Faculty of 
dentistry Badr University and Alkasr Alainy outpatient clinics, this study 
was conducted to investigate work related musculoskeletal disorders in 
different body regions among dentists and to investigate correlation 
between high postural load and work-related musculoskeletal disorders.  
One Hundred two dentists of both genders were selected from 
faculty of dentistry Badr University and Alkasr Alainy outpatient clinic 
from the period between 15 April 2023 to 15 July 2023. Their mean age  
±25-30 years old. To assess postural load RULA was used then Cornell 
questionnaire was discussed and fulfilled to the dentists to determine the 
prevalence of musculoskeletal disorders during the past 12 months. 
FINDINGS 
The findings of this study were as the following: the most prevalent 
musculoskeletal disorder among dentists is in neck region followed by 
lower back followed by upper back. Also there was strong relation between 
high postural load and musculoskeletal disorders 
CONCLUSION 
it can be concluded from this study that the postural load and 
Musculoskeletal disorders areas  in the dentistry profession vary from 
environment to another as in different studies they had different scores  and 
in Egypt ,almost all the Egyptian dentists in this study suffer from high 
postural load and most of them have musculoskeletal disorders at the neck, 
lower back ,upper back and there was a positive correlation between 
77 
increasing postural load and increasing musculoskeletal disorders in these 
three regions. 
RECOMMENDATIONS 
The following recommendations are suggested: 
1) A similar study should be conducted on a large number of patients 
to confirm and provide more generalization of the data base 
results. 
2) A similar study should be conducted on different age groups and 
both genders separately. 
3) Further studies are needed to show the effect of ergonomic work 
with dentists in the decrease of pain and musculoskeletal 
disorders rate and areas. 
4) Further studies to assess differences between dentists who have 
ergonomic knowledge and who are not. 
5) It is recommended to interevent ergonomically early to prevent 
musculoskeletal disorders from happening.; عنوان البحث:
انتشار الاضطرابات العضلية الهيكلية بسبب التحميل البدني بين أطباء الأسنان المصريين
الهدف من الدراسه:
ليتم التعرف على معدل انتشار الاضطرابات العضلية الهيكلية المرتبطة بالعمل في مناطق الجسم المختلفة بين أطباء الأسنان وليتم التحقيق في العلاقة بين الحمل الوضعي العالي والاضطرابات العضلية الهيكلية المرتبطة بالعمل
مواد و اساليب البحث:
اجريت هذه الدراسه بالعيادات الخارجيه بجامعة بدروالعيادات الخارجية بالقصر العينى.
خطة الدراسه:
تم اختيار مائة واثنين من أطباء الأسنان من الجنسين من كلية طب الأسنان جامعة بدر وعيادة القصر العيني الخارجية، وتراوحت أعمارهم بين 25 – 30 سنة. تم شرح رولا لأطباء الأسنان وكيفية تقييم الحمل الوضعي ثم تمت مناقشة استبيان كورنيل وتلبيته لأطباء الأسنان لتحديد مدى انتشار الاضطرابات العضلية الهيكلية خلال الـ 12 شهرًا الماضية
نتائج الدراسه:

أظهرت النتائج أن أكثر الاضطرابات العضلية الهيكلية انتشارا بين أطباء الأسنان تكون في منطقة الرقبة تليها أسفل الظهر ثم أعلى الظهر. كما كانت هناك علاقة قوية بين الحمل الوضعي العالي والاضطرابات العضلية الهيكلية.
