[Neurological assessment of health status in dentists].
A thorough neurological examination supplemented with electroneurographic and radiological examinations was performed in 31 dentists. A special attention was focused on the condition of the peripheral nervous system, particularly cervical roots, and peripheral nerves of upper limbs. All persons under study complained of lumbar pains. In 80.6% of subjects these pains indicated radicular neuralgia. Lesion of ulnar nerve was found in 22.6% and lesion of median nerve in 35.5% of dentists examined. The studies performed also allowed to detect some micro-symptoms.
