This study shows mental workload correlates with ergonomic risk in dentists, indicating potential future discomfort due to time pressure.
This study explored the relationship between awkward postures, musculoskeletal discomfort, and mental workload among dentists. Despite the absence of severe musculoskeletal symptoms, the high ergonomic risk indicates potential future problems. Dentists reported considerable temporal demand, which was significantly correlated with ergonomic risk, underscoring the impact of time pressure on their practice.
