“…10, October, 2022 11 reduction in the probability of reporting CTS syndromes in SSS (aOR 0.44; 95% CI 0.21-0.90). CTS-related help disability was more inclined be reported for one female gender (aOR 2.21; 95% CI 1.36-3.57) and less inclined be reported by endodontic doctors (aOR 0.15; 95% CI 0.04-0.58) was higher than this study 15 .…”

Background: Dentists in their practice are daily exposed to work-related vibrations. The important cause of work disability is carpal tunnel syndrome. Methods: In this cross-sectional study data from 100 dentists was collected using convenient sampling technique. Prior to data collection consent form was sent to the respective dental section of government hospitals of Faisalabad. The dentists who met the inclusion criterion were invited to participate in the study. The Diagnosis was made according to clinical tests of Phalen and Tinel. Age, sex, years of experience, working hours per week and the type of procedure were then be considered as dependent variables Results: Overall, prevalence rate of 60% of carpal tunnel syndrome among old aged dentists was observed. Conclusion: The risk of carpel tunnel syndrome increases with age. It also concluded that 60% prevalence rate was found in the dentists. Older dentists of age 35-50 year were included in more risk group than younger 20-25 year. Keywords: Carpal tunnel syndrome, Phalen’s sign, Tinel’s sign, endodontic file

“…In fact, 65% of patients required at least one additional surgical procedure, and 75% received therapy for associated musculoskeletal issues before, during, or after arthroplasty surgery [ 28 ]. It is worth noting that maintaining prolonged and specific postures, such as in professions like dentistry, is associated with thumb osteoarthritis [ 29 ]. Similar to our results, CTS showed to be 39% (vs. 27% in our study) prevalent among patients who surgically treated for TMC OA [ 13 ].…”

Background People with one area of upper extremity musculoskeletal conditions (UEMSCs) may have other. We aim to determine how frequent is the ipsilateral coexistence of common UEMSCs apparent on interview and examination. Methods This is a large population cross-sectional study conducted as part of the PERSIAN cohort study int Mashhad University of Medical Sciences (MUMS). The study aimed to evaluate individuals for symptoms and signs of the following conditions: carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS), lateral epicondylitis (LE), trapeziometacarpal osteoarthritis (TMC OA), DeQuervain’s tendinopathy, trigger digit (TD), ganglion cyst, and rotator cuff tendinopathy (RCT). The primary outcomes of the study are (1) to determine the side-specific relative risk of each UEMSC coexisting with the second condition, and (2) to identify predictive factors of each UEMSC using side-specific multivariate logistic regression analysis. Results We conducted a study involving 4737 individuals from the staff of MUMS and found significant pairwise associations among UEMSCs on a side-specific basis. Women had more chance of having DeQuervain’s disease (β = 6.3), CTS (β = 3.5), ganglion cyst (β = 2.5), TMC OA (β = 2.3), and RCT (β = 2.0). Each condition (dependent variable) was associated with others (predictors) as follows: CTS: RCT (β = 5.9), TMC OA (β = 4.7), TD (β = 2.9), and LE (β = 2.5). TMC OA: LE (β = 6.4), TD (β = 5.4), RCT (β = 4.3), and CTS (β = 4.1). LE: RCT (β = 8.1), TMC OA (β = 6.4), and CTS (β = 2.5). DeQuervain’s disease: TD (β = 13.6), RCT (β = 4.5), and LE (β = 3.8). TD: CTS (β = 8.8), ganglion cyst (β = 7.6), DeQuervain’s disease (β = 5.7), and TMC OA (β = 4.3). RCT: LE (β = 5.8), TMC OA (β = 5.5), CTS (β = 5.2), and DeQuervain’s disease (β = 4.3). Ganglion cyst: TD (β = 4.8). Conclusion Our study reports significant increased frequency of the UEMSCs among patients who already have one of the diseases, in a large sample size study. Level of Evidence Level II (Differential Diagnosis/Symptom Prevalence Study).

“…27 Many risk factors have been identified throughout the years such as obesity, diabetes, hypothyroidism, pregnancy, lupus erythematosus, Reynaud's phenomenon however, specific interest exists regarding the occurrence of CTS in certain occupations, such as in the field of dentistry. 2,13,20,21 Dental procedures require the use of vibratory tools, strong griping, uncomfortable hand position and the performance of long-lasting repetitive tasks. 29 Due to the nature of this occupation, it is expected to have higher rates of CTS occurrence.…”

Purpose: To estimate the prevalence of carpal tunnel syndrome (CTS) among dentists and the effect of possible moderators on it. Methods: A systematic literature search (Medline and Embase databases) was conducted independently by two reviewers. Quality assessment was performed. The pooled prevalence with 95% confidence intervals (CI) was estimated. Outlier and influential analysis were conducted. Moderator analysis was performed in order the effect of categorical and continuous variables on the estimated prevalence to be investigated. Results: In total, ten eligible studies (3,547 participants) were finally included in this meta-analysis. The overall prevalence of CTS among dental surgeons was estimated as 9.87% (95%CI 6.84%-14.03%) with significant heterogeneity between studies. No study was identified as influential. Potential sources of heterogeneity were not identified through the moderator analysis. In the subgroup analysis the prevalence was 12.47% (95%CI 6.38%-22.95%) for the group identified as having CTS through medical history and at least clinical examination or electrodiagnostic testing and 8.56% (95%CI 5.53%-13.01%) among those who identified solely through questionnaire (previously diagnosed). Conclusions: Our findings are important to provide the pooled prevalence of CTS among dentists. Our results were based on highly heterogeneous studies. Two of them were estimated as high quality (low risk of bias) and the remaining ones as moderate quality (moderate risk of bias). Our study reports a considerable prevalence, consequently, significance of awareness among dental surgeons regarding the etiology of this issue is more than necessary. More studies need to be conducted that could guide researchers in order this issue to be fully investigated.
