Dental practitioners are particularly prone to upper body injury due to the nature of their work. As many as 70% of dentists surveyed report musculo- skeletal pain in the back, neck, shoulders, and arms. Surveys and studies from as far back as 1945 consistently find that the most common hazards in dentistry are back pain (44%,) muscle aches (33%,) and neck pain (28%.) Further, 81% of hygienists complain of back and shoulder pain, and an investigation into attrition of dental hygienists found that 1 in 5 leave the dental field due to disability. A 1987 study estimated the impact of lower back pain among dentists at over 1.3 million cancelled appointments, at a cost of more than $41 million per year. More recent estimates, based on increases in dental costs, and the increase in the number of practicing dentists, puts the impact at over $200 million per year.
