Roentgenological arthrosis of the hand in dentists with reference to manual function

Abstract: Arthrosis of the hand was studied in 136 dentists 33-69 yr of age on a joint-by-joint basis. A random sample of 940 persons of similar age from the general population served as controls. The prevalence of arthrosis was significantly higher in male than female dentists. Male dentists tended to have a higher and female dentists a similar prevalence of arthrosis as compared to the respective controls. The proportion of arthrotic distal interphalangeal (DIP) joints of all arthrotic joints of the hands was in both … Show more

“…O acometimento de mais de um local, simultaneamente, oscila bastante, sendo descritas taxas que variam de 51 a 90% para o pescoço e ombro (Milerad & Ekenvall, 1990;Rundcrantz et al, 1991aRundcrantz et al, , 1991b e de 30 a 72% para esses dois segmentos mais a região lombar (Rundcrantz et al, 1991a;Mandel, 1993). Alguns trabalhos encontraram maior freqüência de sintomas entre os dentistas quando comparados com a população geral (Kelsey, 1982;Letho et al, 1990) ou com outros profissionais de saúde (Akesson et al, 1995;Doorn, 1995).

O uso de recursos para melhorar a execução de procedimentos, como o espelho para cavidade oral e posições de trabalho mais confortáveis, foi mais comum entre os dentistas que manifestaram menos sintomas (Rundcrantz et al, 1990).…”
