The dental practice is demanding and time consuming. A dentist¿s musculoskeletal health can be affected adversely if appropriate working position is neglected. Area that is often overlooked is the physical strain caused due to long hours of working in uncomfortable and incorrect posture which in turn can contribute greatly to musculoskeletal disorders, stress, and loss of productivity. Occupation related diseases are increasing day by day and one amongst them is musculoskeletal disorders due to improper ergonomics in dentistry. These disorders can result in pain and dysfunction of the neck, back, legs and hands and fingers. Dentists develop musculoskeletal problems which are related to suboptimal work environment ergonomics that might be responsible for improper sitting postures and movements. In Greek, ¿Ergo,¿ means work and, ¿Nomos,¿ means natural laws or systems. Ergonomics, therefore, is an applied science concerned with designing products and procedures for maximum efficiency and safety. The principles of ergonomics touch all aspects of our life and can be applied in work place, at home and even in recreational and leisure activities.
