AGREDO-SILVA, Vicenzo Vicente et al. Ergonomic risk by static overload and musculoskeletal disorders in dental practice: a review. CES odontol. [online]. 2021, vol.34, n.2, pp.123-138.  Epub 30-Mar-2022. ISSN 0120-971X.  https://doi.org/10.21615/cesodon.5989.

Musculoskeletal disorders are injuries that affect body movement, including muscles, tendons, ligaments, among others. These disorders are one of the most important problems in dental clinical practice, caused mostly by static overload due to prolonged posture in a standing or sitting position when performing extremely precise procedures in a workspace as small as the oral cavity; For this reason, based on the existing literature, it is intended to describe the biomechanical risk due to static overload and musculoskeletal disorders in dentists. With this intention, a narrative review of the scientific literature on the matter in Spanish and English of research products of the last ten years was carried out using DeCS and MeSH descriptors, in academic and scientific sources of PubMed, Medline, Scopus and academic Google in where 50 articles were selected, the main result being that there is a relationship between biomechanics factors and static overload with the use appearance of musculoskeletal disorders.
