Concerns about ergonomic risk factors have been growing among health care and other workers. The authors undertook a study to determine the presence of certain ergonomic risk factors in typical tasks performed by dentists and dental hygienists. They further investigated—by means of electromyography and goniometry—the force, frequency and duration of the task. The study suggests that when a task's duration, force and frequency are accounted for, scaling, polishing, flossing and probing activities do not represent exposure to high ergonomic risk. |
