The link between a sedentary lifestyle and musculoskeletal problems is still controversial. Dentistry students due to the nature of their activities in a non- mobile position are more prone to MSD, muscular imbalances and postural difficulties. The purpose of this study was to assess the posture of the dental 4th and 5th year students before and after the 6 weeks of intervention and evaluate the difference and figure out how effective the program has been. The target participants were 20 dentistry students of the university of Debrecen, among them 10 (4 females, 6 males) from 4th year and 10 (6 females, 4 males) 5th year students.
