Healthcare professionals need to develop senses such as: visual acuity, hearing, depth of perception, psychomotor skills, dexterity, ability to maintain working positions for long periods of time to perform their procedures. Vitiation of any of them affects the practitioner‘s performance, efficiency and productivity. There is a lot of research in the literature on the risk factors influencing the work of dental technicians in terms of potential toxic materials, dermatological and respiratory diseases. Impressive is the fact that there is a lot of research on the influence of risk factors such as noise and musculoskeletal disorders affecting dentists and assistants, but research among dental technicians is scarce. Advances in technology in recent years have been aimed at facilitating the practice of dental technology, mainly in order to reduce occupational and iatrogenic risk factors to a minimum.
