Abstract:   (95 Views)
The occupational hazards faced by maxillofacial surgeons are a significant concern, encompassing exposure to infectious diseases, musculoskeletal injuries, radiation, and needle stick injuries. These hazards pose risks to the health and well-being of the surgeons, potentially impacting their ability to provide high-quality patient care. The article comprehensively addresses these occupational risks and emphasizes the importance of implementing robust infection control measures, prioritizing ergonomics in the workplace, and promoting a culture of self-care within the profession. Additionally, it highlights the need for comprehensive training on infection control practices, radiation safety measures, and proper ergonomics to mitigate these hazards effectively. This article provides a comprehensive overview of the occupational hazards faced by maxillofacial surgeons and the measures necessary to ensure their well-being while continuing to deliver essential care to their patients.
