Journal Article
Occupational diseases among dental personnel: a scoping review
2025
Overview
Dental professionals face numerous occupational health risks that can significantly impact their well-being and career longevity. This scoping review synthesizes current evidence on the prevalence, risk factors, and prevention strategies for major occupational health issues in dentistry. The article selection process adhered to the Preferred Reporting Items for Systematic Reviews and Meta-Analyses (PRISMA) guidelines. A comprehensive electronic search was conducted across PubMed/MEDLINE, Scopus, and Web of Science to identify relevant studies published within the past decade. Musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs) were found to be highly prevalent. Allergic contact dermatitis (ACD), pulmonary diseases such as pneumoconiosis, and noise-induced hearing loss (NIHL) remain common concerns for the overall health of dental personnel. Work-related stress is widespread and can lead to mental health issues such as burnout syndrome, emotional exhaustion, and suicidal ideation. Occupational health issues are prevalent in dentistry, necessitating the development of improved prevention strategies. Recommended preventive measures include ergonomic workplace design, regular physical activity, stress management techniques, the use of appropriate personal protective equipment, and efficient ventilation systems. Future research should focus on developing standardized diagnostic criteria and employing prospective cohort designs to more accurately estimate disease burden and evaluate the effectiveness of interventions.
