“…The idea brought forward by 1 participant to double glove when treating patients with COVID-19 does not ease the experience of stigma, and it is probably unjustified given the transmission route of SARS-CoV-2. Despite double-gloving techniques being suggested as an effective means of infection control for high-risk medical surgical procedures involving patients who may have blood-borne infections ( Padhye et al 2011 ; Lipson et al 2018 ), some patients who are HIV positive may feel stigmatized if they see the dentist overusing this measure ( Patel et al 2015 ). Additionally, in terms of the origin of both viruses, participants made reference to the fact that SARS-CoV-2 and HIV are zoonotic in nature ( Sharp and Hahn 2011 ), albeit from different animals and a consequence of cross-species infections.…”

Objectives: The aim of this study was to unravel the professional and social consequences of COVID-19 as compared with the AIDS pandemic according to oral health care providers, staff, and administrators. Methods: An exploratory qualitative inquiry via at-a-distance, semistructured interviews engaged a purposefully recruited sample of oral health care team workers in British Columbia. Interviews took place between April 20 and May 15, 2020; they were audio recorded, transcribed verbatim, and deidentified for interactive thematic analysis. An inductive process of coding was used to identify themes, subthemes, and categories of information. Results: Forty-five interviews were conducted with 18 dentists, 12 dental hygienists, 6 certified dental assistants, and 9 administrators; 22 were females. Interviews each lasted an average of 48 min. After the transcripts were coded, 3 subthemes emerged: 1) personal protective equipment and universal precautions as commonsense approaches to care during both pandemics; 2) an (un)collapsed world in terms of global lockdowns; and 3) social unrest in terms of the potential for stigma and discrimination caused by both pandemics. These subthemes made up the COVID-19–AIDS parallel theme. Conclusion: This study explored the extent to which the current COVID-19 pandemic is leading to professional and social consequences when a parallel is drawn with the AIDS pandemic. This is the first qualitative study that identifies the potential social unrest of the pandemic from the perspective of oral health care providers and administrators. Future studies should include other providers across Canada, as well the patients receiving oral health care during this pandemic. Knowledge Transfer Statement: The COVID-19 pandemic has unraveled potential societal implications in a parallel to the HIV/AIDS era from the perspectives of oral health care providers and their staff. Such implications are changing the way that oral health care is delivered; it may also be leading to social unrest in the form of stigma and discrimination. This study discusses some of these implications from the perspective of oral health care providers and administrators.

OBJECTIVE: This study was performed to compare incidence of perforations in Latex and Nitrile examination gloves during Minor Oral surgical procedures performed under local anesthesia. METHODOLOGY: 100 pairs of latex and 100 pairs of Nitrile examination gloves where used to perform 200 minor oral surgical procedures under local anesthesia. After completion of every minor oral surgical procedure each gloves was examined by Water Inflation method to observe presence or absence of Perforations. A data sheet was used to collect data including type of Gloves used (Latex or Nitrile) presence of perforations, sites of perforations and nature of minor oral surgical procedures. Data was entered and analyzed using SPSS version 20. Descriptive analysis was conducted to calculate frequency and percentages of Number and sites of perforations for both Nitrile and latex examination gloves. Chi Square test was used to find out statistical significance of difference of perforations rate between Nitrile and Latex gloves. P value of < 0.05 was considered significant. RESULTS: Out of 200 latex gloves 23 (11.5) had 29 perforations whereas out of total 200 Nitrile gloves 28 (14%) had 22 perforations. Nitrile gloves had a statistically significant higher rate of perforations as compared to Latex gloves. (P value 0.043). For both Nitrile and Latex gloves left non dominant hand had highest frequency of perforations Latex 18 (81.81%) perforations and Nitrile 18(62.06%). Index finger and thumb were most frequent sites of perforations in both Latex and Nitrile gloves. CONCLUSION: Gloves perforations were more common in Nitrile examination gloves however total number of perforations was more in Latex examination gloves.

“…This study also shows that the oral & maxillofacial surgery, orthodontic, prosthodontics & endodontics perfora tions rate was 94%, 90%, 73%, 80% respectively, which is higher than the previous study in which perforation during these treatments were of 50%, 58%, 65% with over 90%. 10 This may be of precise significance through management of patients which are at greater risk of blood borne infection. The outcomes of contemporary study suggest that the doctor might be sensible to consider usage of double gloves in procedures in which wires are used.…”

Objectives: The purpose of current study was to identify particular procedures which are associated with a high risk of glove puncture and thereby assist in limiting the risk of infection, especially those in high risk group. Study Design: Observational study. Setting: Outpatient department of dentistry at Liaquat University hospital, Hyderabad. Period: August 2017 to January 2018. Materials and Methods: In present study gloves perforation were assessed after performing various dental treatments by using Latex Biogel gloves. Total 400 gloves were collected from department of oral and maxillofacial surgery, orthodontics, operative dentistry and prosthodontics, 100 from each department. Simple Water Inflation technique was used to test punctures in gloves to determine the number and position of punctures in used gloves. Data collection was done using SPSS version 22.0. Descriptive statistics were computed and differences between groups were assessed through T- test. P-value ≤ 0.05 was taken as statistically significant. Results: Total 400 gloves were examined 100 from each department. Out of 100, 94 (94%) were found perforated from oral & maxillofacial surgery, 90 (90%) from orthodontics, 73 (73%) from prosthodontics & 80 (80%) from operative dentistry. Gloves puncture of left hand were more 292 (73%) than that of right hand 108 (27%) out of 400 gloves. Conclusion: Perforation of Gloves while several dental procedures have been evaluated and resulted that gloves on left hand were at greater risk unambiguously in the procedures in which wires were used, additional precautions like wearing double gloves during these procedures may therefore be indicated.
