Abstract Background and aim Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) has been associated with sick leave, decreased work productivity and poor quality of life. Another possible cause for the development of GERD is the relationship with maintaining the posture in flexion of the spine. The aim of this study was: (1) to compare gastro esophageal reflux with musculoskeletal disorders and quality of life of dentists, (2) to evaluate the association between gastro esophageal reflux such as time in the profession, time working while sitting, musculoskeletal disorders and quality of life of dentists. Methods 83 dentists (23 males and 60 females; average age 39.3 years old) participated in the study, who were evaluated for their time in the profession, sitting time, musculoskeletal disorders, quality of life (SF-12v2) and the GERD symptoms using the Frequency Scale for Symptoms of GERD (FSSG) questionnaire. Results The results showed that the majority were female (72.3%) and sendentary (74.7%). A difference was found between the level of GERD with musculoskeletal disorders (p Conclusion This study showed that there was an association with working time, sitting time, musculoskeletal disorders, quality of life and GERD in dentists.
