Abstract
�Prosthodontics technological processes and results of risk profiling�. Background:
In prosthodontics laboratories, dental devices and appliances are made
to measure, optimized and tested, in particular prostheses, following
the design specifications of the dentist. Objective: he purpose
of this study was to learn about and become familiar with the
work processes in prosthodontics laboratories and also analyze
inconveniences and risks in the laboratory work space. Methods: The
simple computerized pre-mapping model, the risk profiling method, was
used. Repetitive movement evaluation was further analyzed using the
multitask OCRA mini-checklist. Results: repeated movement risk to the
upper limbs was identified during some production processes; chemical
and physical pollutants were present as well as problems related to the
use of certain equipment. Conclusions: This by no means exhaustive
analysis can be considered as a starting point in creating guidelines
in risk evaluation in a sector consisting of small and very small
businesses which has so far not been studied in depth.
