Abstract

 Recent socio-economic changes (stiffer competition, more demanding patients, more intensive working conditions) have made the daily work of the dentist increasingly stressful. Excessive mental pressures have given rise to problems that affect the musculoskeletal and nervous systems. It is a well-known fact that stress can cause muscular cramps and pain, especially in the trapezius muscle. When asked whether they regarded dental work as stressful 91% of the respondents answered in the affirmative.
