THEORETICAL AND PRACTICAL ASPECTS REGARDING IDENTIFICATION OF THE POTENTIAL OF CARDIOVASCULAR RISK IN STUDENTS OF THE DENTAL TECHNOLOGY PROGRAM WITHIN THE UNIVERSITY OF MEDICINE AND PHARMACY “CAROL DAVILA” FROM BUCHAREST - PRELIMINARY STUDY.

Knowing that the work of the dental technician involves maintaining a prolonged sitting position, most procedures for prosthetic or orthodontic devices require a long time to perform, but also a very high accuracy, this specialist is more susceptible to cardiovascular disease due to prolonged sedentary occupational behavior. This is why the purpose of this study is to identify the self-reported prevalence of potential for cardiovascular risk among students from dental technology program at the University of Medicine and Pharmacy “Carol Davila” in Bucharest, in order to establish the need for intervention to increase resistance to these risk factors.
