Abstract(s)
A Ergonomia, é a ciência que estuda a relação entre o Homem e o trabalho que executa, com o objetivo de promover uma simbiose perfeita entre as condições de trabalho, as capacidades e limitações físicas e/ou psicológicas do trabalhador.
Quando aplicada com sucesso, a Ergonomia assegura uma melhor produtividade, evita lesões e patologias relacionadas com o trabalho e aumenta a eficiência do profissional. Por outro lado, quando não aplicada corretamente, pode conduzir a lesões músculo-esqueléticas relacionadas com o trabalho.
Durante o exercício da sua atividade profissional, o Médico Dentista, encontra-se por diversas vezes em posições de trabalho pouco corretas e posturas desadequadas sob esforços repetitivos que posteriormente podem provocar lesões músculo-esqueléticas que numa fase tardia se podem manifestar de forma crónica.
Cerca de 29.5% dos Médicos Dentistas que cessam a sua atividade profissional previamente ao esperado, fazem-no devido a distúrbios músculo-esqueléticos (Anshul Gupta, Bhat, Mohammed, Bansal, & Gupta, 2014), o que ultrapassa as doenças cardiovasculares (21.2%), tumores (7.6%) e patologias do sistema nervoso (6.1%).
O objetivo do trabalho científico é demonstrar à Comunidade Científica e pares da Medicina Dentária a importância da Ergonomia como uma forma de otimização da prática clínica e atividade profissional com menos riscos de patologia relacionada com o trabalho.
Ergonomics is the science that studies the relation between the Man and the work he performs with the purpose of promoting a perfect symbiosis between the labour conditions, the fisical and/or psicological limitations and capabilities of the worker. When applied successfully, Ergonomics ensures better productivity, prevents injuries and work related pathologies while increasing the efficiency of the professional. On the other hand, when not applied correctly, it can lead to work-related musculoskeletal injuries. During his professional activity, the Dentist, finds himself oftenly in incorrect work positions and inadequate postures under repetitive efforts that can later cause musculoskeletal pathologies that can later occur in chronic form. Some 29.5% of the dentists who quit their professional activity earlier than expected, do so due to musculoskeletal disorders (Anshul Gupta et al., 2014), which surpasses cardiovascular diseases (21.2%), tumors (7.6%) and pathologies of the nervous system (6.1%). The obective of this scientific work is to demonstrate to the Scientific Community and fellow Dentists the importance of Ergonomics as a way of optimization of clinical practise and profesisonal activity with less risks of work-related pathology.
