Prevalence and preventive measures of spinal musculoskeletal disorders among dentists at the University Dental Hospital of Monastir: a cross-sectional study
spinal MSDs were highly prevalent among dental professionals. Neck, back, and low back pain were significantly associated with occupational factors such as insufficient breaks, prolonged working hours, and lack of task rotation. These findings highlight the importance of ergonomic and organizational interventions in dental practice.
