Abstract
The objective of this study was to confirm the occupational risk factors which related to musculoskeletal disorders. The cross-sectional survey research design was set up to obtain the data with the sample size of 360.A postal questionnaire survey of licensed dentists in Bangkok registered with the Thailand Dental Association was randomly. It was found that 69.7% showed at least one musculoskeletal symptom in the past 12 months. The most prevalent pain, 71.1%, occurred in shoulder, the latter 60.8, 49.7 and 46.7% affected on neck, upper back and wrist or hand respectively. The individual risk factors, gender, age, work experience, were significantly related to musculoskeletal disorder (p ≤ 0.05). The work - related risk factors, working hours, breaking time, handedness, using vibrating tool, position and posture, repetitive movement, working hour on computer and stress were significantly related to musculoskeletal disorder (p ≤ 0.05). The health behavior, frequency of exercise per week and time to do exercise were significantly related to musculoskeletal disorder (p ≤ 0.01).
