. Lumbar spine pain is among the most common conditions affecting   daily activities in modern-day societies, as well as the second most common   cause of absenteeism from work. The aim of the paper was to determine the   incidence of lumbar spine pain in dental professionals of the Dental Clinic   of Vojvodina, the effects of lumbar spine pain on their general health and   work ability, their attitude to treatment options, as well as potential   etiological factors for the appearance of lumbar spine pain. Material and   Methods. A prospective study included 45 employees of the Dental Clinic of   Vojvodina. We investigated the association between the appearance of lumbar   spine pain and the work of dental professionals. The data were gathered via   a questionnaire analyzing musculoskeletal disorders, and the probable risk   factors for their appearance. Results. There were 75.6% (34/45) of women   and 24.4% (11/45) of men, aged from 22 to 64 years, with a total work   experience of 13?9.6 years. Lumbar spine pain was recorded in 60% of   examinees. They were mostly localized in the lower back (52.2%), but also   spreading down along both legs (17.4%) and into the right hip (13%) (p &lt;   0.01). The incidence of low back pain was higher in dentists (72.4%) than in   dental assistants (45.5%) and dental technicians (20%) (p &lt; 0.05).   Conclusion. Lumbar spine disorders are among the most frequent   occupational diseases in dental practice, associated with multifactorial   causes. Ergonomics and ergonomic education are primary factors in the   prevention and therapy of lumbar spine conditions.
