Abstract

The dental student in order to complete dental practices adopts positions that allow them to make precise movements in a limited space such as the oral cavity. Objective: To determine the ergonomic level of the students of the subject oral surgery 2 of the seventh semester of the Pilot School of Dentistry of the University Guayaquil. Methodology: The scope of this research is descriptive with a non-experimental methodological design and crosssection. The total population was 1275 students and the sample of 72 (N), which resulted in 55 women (75%) and 17 men (24%), between 20 and 33 years old, techniques such as the Job Straen Index method (JSI) and the Nordic Questionnaire (CN). The results obtained in the Body Mass Index (BMI) show that 44 students (61%) remain normal and 13 students who represent 18% remain overweight. Results: in the Method (JSI) it reflects that 50% of the male sex presented an unsafe work, while 46% of the female sex also presented an unsafe work. Of the N, 14 work is safe, 34 work is not safe, 24 work is dangerous. In the results of the (CN) it reflects that 38% that is equivalent to 12 male students maintain discomfort in the dorsal area as lumbar, while 28% referring to 26 of the female sex also present discomfort in the mentioned areas. In conclusion, we have that male students maintain a high value in consideration of women, for which they are more prone to develop skeletal muscle alterations in the dorsal as lumbar region.
