Abstract :
This paper presents a comprehensive
examination of the role of ergonomics in pediatric
dentistry, addressing its significance, current practices,
and implications for dental education. The study delves
into the awareness and compliance of dental students and
professionals with ergonomic guidelines and evaluates the
impact of ergonomics on musculoskeletal health.
Additionally, it discusses the state of ergonomics education
in dental schools and its potential implications for the
future. The findings underscore the critical need for
heightened awareness and training in ergonomics within
the dental profession, aiming to improve both patient care
and practitioner well-being. As pediatric dentistry evolves,
embracing ergonomic principles becomes paramount for
the holistic betterment of dental care.
