Description
"The Effect of Magnification on the Working Posture of Dental Students: A Systematic Review" explores how using magnification tools like loupes and microscopes affects the ergonomics and posture of dental students during clinical procedures. The study systematically reviews existing research to determine whether these tools help improve posture and reduce the risk of musculoskeletal disorders. The findings indicate that magnification generally results in better posture among students, although there's some variability depending on individual habits and the specific type of magnification used. This research is important for enhancing dental education and clinical practice by potentially mitigating long-term health issues among dental professionals.
