BACKGROUND In recent times ergonomics has become a popular term. The term has been used with most professions but increasingly in the dental profession. Dentistry is a profession in which all the dentists worldwide are commonly affected with health hazards like musculoskeletal disorders which hinders their clinical practice resulting in early retirements. So, to evaluate workplace efficiency and prevalence of musculoskeletal problems in practicing local dentists this study was planned. We wanted to assess the awareness about proper ergonomic practice among the postgraduate dental students in Vidarbha region. METHODS The study was undertaken at Sharad Pawar Dental College between 2018-2019. Study comprised of 50 postgraduate students. Each student was asked to fill selfadministered questionnaire regarding ergonomics. The questionnaire consisted of a total of 10 questions. Results were assessed accordingly. RESULTS Out of all the participating postgraduate students, 84% have knowledge of the term ergonomics and its applications in dental practice. 52% of them responded positively to taking micro breaks while performing a procedure. 88% of them are aware of the posture related musculoskeletal disorders. 84% of them responded positively about experiencing symptoms during working. 68% of them responded positively about knowing some exercises to strengthen their back, shoulders or hands. 36% of the participants are practicing four handed dentistry. CONCLUSIONS Awareness about dental ergonomics can enable the postgraduate students and other dental practitioners to have a better work-life, and provide their patients with the quality of service they need.
