About
Dr. Tina Chugh is a leading voice at the intersection of human factors engineering and clinical dentistry. Her work addresses the critical, yet often overlooked, ergonomic challenges faced by dental professionals, who are at high risk for work-related musculoskeletal disorders (MSDs). In her seminal review, "Human Factors Engineering in Dentistry," Dr. Chugh systematically examines the prevalence of conditions like chronic back pain and repetitive strain injuries that compromise clinician well-being and productivity. By applying human-centered design principles to dental practice, she provides a framework for redesigning workflows, instruments, and postures to mitigate these risks. Her research has been instrumental in shifting the conversation from treating injuries to preventing them, advocating for sustainable practice environments. With her work already influencing clinical guidelines and curriculum development, Dr. Chugh is recognized as a pioneer in promoting occupational health within the dental field, ensuring that the professionals who care for our smiles can do so without sacrificing their own health.
