Abstract

Introduction: Dentists are among the professional classes with the highest frequency of musculoskeletal pain and discomfort, justified by the characteristics of work in a restricted area that is the mouth and aggravated by postural adaptations maintained for a long period of stay, usually without breaks or breaks. These complaints accompany the increase in pain, demotivation, stress and finally incapacitation and withdrawal from professional practice. Whether years of work potentiate or mitigate these complaints is not yet defined, since there are numerous factors associated with these disorders. Objective: To investigate the possible relationship between the presence of musculoskeletal disorders and length of time working in dental surgeons. Materials and method: exploratory descriptive cross-sectional study with a quantitative approach to the data carried out through a questionnaire applied to 108 dental professionals in the State of Maranhão, collecting information on pain, location, intensity and duration of work. Results: The results showed that pain was more prevalent in professionals with 1 to 3 years of work, with the most affected regions being back (lower), back (upper), shoulders, wrists and hands. Conclusion: Through the study, we found that there is no relationship between musculoskeletal disorders and the time of work of these professionals.
