LECTURE TITLE

What happened to us when we stopped working?

During the start of the COVID pandemic of 2020 the Australian government halted the provision of non-essential dental treatment. Aside from the more obvious professional and financial effects, what impact did the lockdown have on dentists physically? This lecture will:

  • Discuss the experience of dental work-related musculoskeletal injuries (before and during the pandemic)
  • Analyse the changes that occurred with dentists’ physical health during lockdown, their causes and what can be learned from this period of time
  • Provide recommendations on the prevention of future musculoskeletal injuries upon return to normal working conditions
