LBP has a significant impact on the dental workforce; yet little is reported about the profession's knowledge, or the necessity for tailored self\u2010care education.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Materials and Methods<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>A single\u2010centred online survey was administered to final year dental students at a UK dental school. This used carefully selected criteria following the review of the limited validated evidence base, with a robust methodological approach to survey design.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Results<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>There was an 86% response rate. LBP is prevalent amongst dental students, with 58% experiencing LBP in the past 6 months. 29% had reduced recreational and professional activity as a result, and 14% had sought professional help. Understanding of LBP varied; 92% identified the practice of dentistry to be the greatest contributing factor, whilst 89% deemed correcting posture to be the most effective prevention method. A majority, 53%, believed LBP would resolve without treatment, although confidence in management was poor. Almost all responders supported inclusion of back pain education in undergraduate dental curricula.<\/jats:p>\n                  <\/jats:sec>\n                  <jats:sec>\n                    <jats:title>Conclusion<\/jats:title>\n                    <jats:p>This research has revealed a belief system that may have negative influences on dental professionals' lower back health. Dental professionals may lack education on musculoskeletal disorders and have a poor understanding of the prevention and management of LBP. The results have informed the development of a LBP module aiming to improve undergraduate awareness and positively impact future working life.<\/jats:p>\n
