The main objective of this study was to depict the occurrence of neck pain, shoulder pain and back pain among dentists and to evaluate the risk factors affecting them. Sixty-eight dentists from Patna were interviewed utilizing pretested questionnaires in January 2018. Back pain was the most common complaint affecting almost 75% of the study population, followed by neck pain (52%) and shoulder pain (48%). The recurrence of shoulder pain among female dentists was nearly double that of males (P=0.009). The mean days of neck pain among males was altogether higher as compared to females (P=0.048). The study proposesthat musculoskeletal complaints are common among dental specialists; however they are not of severe nature. There is a scope for further decreasing the prevalence and seriousnessof these disorders by performing regular specific exercises.
