Musculoskeletal pain is a major cause of occupational illness and disability. Dentists in the Work Related Musculoskeletal Disorders (MSDs) are the most common upper limb and spine. Given this fact, the aim of this study was to evaluate the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain, bodily areas most subject to injuries, we dentists and undergraduate students. It is about an exploratory study and transversal, which was conducted with students of specialization in orthodontics and implantology of ABO (Associação Brasileira de Odontologia) region of Araçatuba-SP and students of the 5th year of the undergraduate course of the Faculty of Odontology from Aracatuba. Data were collected using a validated questionnaire, using the Brazilian version of the Nordic Musculoskeletal Questionnaire. In our results we observed that most of the interviewees are female. Of post graduates students, most work 40 hours a week and report (57.14%) did not perform pauses between consultations. Regarding practice of physical activity, the majority of both postgraduate students as graduate students reported perform. We observed that a large percentage of the interviewees had painful symptoms, in the postgraduate students was: neck (37.2%), elbows (42.9%), wrists hands (51.2%), hip-thigh (42.6 %), knees (52.5%) and graduates was: neck (36.4%), elbows (47.7%), wrists- hands (45.5%), hipthigh (39.5%) and knees (47.7%). We conclude that the prevalence of musculoskeletal pain was high, both between postgraduates such as us graduates, even those having reported practiced physical exercises frequently. But a large portion of these makes no pauses between consultations, which can characterize these pains
