Abstract

An occupational hazard is a risk or hazard that occurs as a consequence of the nature or working conditions of a particular profession. Dentists are exposed to a number of occupational hazards during their work. These include: exposure to infections, percutaneous exposure incidents, dermatitis, radiation, noise, musculoskeletal disorders, psychological problems, respiratory disorders, and eye insults. Percutaneous exposure incidents are a major concern, as exposure to serious infectious agents is a major risk. Тhe purpose of our researchis to determine how many of the dentists in the Republic of North Macedonia suffer from occupational diseases, which of them are the most common and what they take to protect themselves.Consideration should be given to minimizing such risks and their consequences, including sound infection control practices, as well as continued hepatitis B education and vaccination. Basically, dentists should be aware of individual protection and appropriate sterilization and use of disinfectants with a high antibacterial and antimicrobial effect. A tense posture at work disrupts musculoskeletal alignment and leads to curvature of the spine. This pose also involves certain muscle groups and joints. This can lead to diseases of the musculoskeletal system.
