Abstract
Choosing the right method for assessing musculoskeletal disorders in work environments can be useful for identifying risk factors and preventing them. Dentists are particularly at risk due to their specific working conditions such as prolonged sitting. A study conducted on 38 dental students of Shahid Beheshti University of Medical Sciences with Assessment of repetitive tasks of the upper limbs ) ART( and Evaluation Del Riesgo Individual (ERIN (worksheets were showed that the risk level in the ERIN method was high, and in the ART method, on both the right and left sides of the body was medium and the level of agreement between the two methods was achieved by using the Kappa coefficient on the right side (0.25), which was medium and weak on the left side of the body (0.12).
Therefore, it is recommended that in order to evaluate discomfort in dentists, it is necessary to choose the appropriate method according to the type of activities performed, the purpose of the study, and the factors influencing the performance of tasks.
