Evaluation of the treatment in the teaching of ergono- mics, in dental students

The training from the teaching process of dental students constitutes an essential element in their subsequent per-formance. The degree of knowledge about ergonomics in Dentistry is of the utmost importance to maintain physical and mental well-being, maintaining harmony with the pa-tient-assisting operator, and avoiding musculoskeletal di-sorders, bad postures, and syndromes. The study carries out an analysis of the level of knowledge and the teaching work that is carried out in this sense, from the develop-ment of research methods to a sample of students of the career. The results consider the main conditions that are found to a greater extent in specialists and show a con-siderable lack of knowledge about the ergonomics of the profession, the use of bad postures during their perfor-mance that cause subsequent health problems. The need to increase the work with ergonomics issues during the development of teaching and the use of various activities that contribute to this regard during the training of dental professionals is manifested.
