Sažetak

Occupational diseases are diseases or health disorders that are caused by the work or working conditions. There are also work related diseases which usually have multifactorial origin. Occupational health hazard can be defined as a risk to a person usually arising out of employment in sense of the nature or working conditions of a particular job. Occupational hazards in dental medicine can be grouped as biological, biomechanical, chemical, physical and psychological. The aim of this paper is to provide a brief overview of the most important occupational health hazards in contemporary dentistry and to present the prevention activities at the School of Dental Medicine University of Zagreb regarding occupational diseases among dental students and dental practitioners.
