“…Methyl methacrylate, HEMA, and TEGDMA penetrated the nitrile and NRL gloves more easily when dissolved in acetone compared with ethanol. This is in accordance with findings when these gloves were tested for HEMA and TEGDMA by M unksgaard (14). We found the same to be true for vinyl gloves but not for the PE glove when testing with 30% MMA or TEGDMA.…”

“…For HEMA in ethanol or acetone, M unksgaard (14) found a shorter lag‐BT with similar nitrile and latex gloves as used in the present study. The difference may be due to the fact that M unksgaard stretched the gloves about 15% and performed the experiments at 37°C, to mimic the in vivo situation.…”

“…A number of experimental studies on the penetration of methacrylate monomers through various kinds of gloves have been performed. Most of them used concentrated methacrylates (10)(11)(12)(13), while HEMA and TEGDMA were tested when dissolved in acetone or ethanol in one study only (14). The rationale for testing the monomers in solvents that, for example, Continuous glove use is more common in dentistry than in most other occupations, and the glove should offer protection against blood-borne infections, skin irritants and contact allergens.…”

Continuous glove use is more common in dentistry than in most other occupations, and the glove should offer protection against blood-borne infections, skin irritants and contact allergens. Methacrylate monomers are potent contact allergens, and it is known that these substances may penetrate the glove materials commonly used. The aim of this study was to assess the permeability of various types of gloves to methyl methacrylate (MMA), 2-hydroxyethyl methacrylate (HEMA) and triethyleneglycol dimethacrylate (TEGDMA) with special reference to combinations with ethanol or acetone. The permeation rate and time lag breakthrough (lag-BT) for MMA (neat, or diluted to 30% in ethanol or acetone), HEMA (30% in water, ethanol, or acetone) and TEGDMA (30% in ethanol or acetone) were investigated for different protective gloves. Nine different types of gloves were tested for one or several of these methacrylates. The lag-BT for neat MMA was

“…Protective gloves have also been advocated to protect the skin from direct contact with uncured composite resin materials. Protective gloves are, however, insufficient in this respect, owing to the permeability of natural rubber latex (NRL), vinyl, and nitrile gloves to acrylic monomers (9,10). The use of gloves may also induce other side effects, and rubber latex gloves can cause immediate and delayed-type allergic skin reactions (11,12).…”

Work-related skin and airway symptoms among Swedish dentists rarely cause sick leave or change of professional career

Dentistry usually is 'wet work' with risk of damage to the skin barrier, and the hands may be exposed to skin irritants and contact-sensitizing substances used in dental materials or gloves. Airway irritants may also be present. This study assessed the consequences of work-related skin and airway symptoms among dentists in terms of contact with health authorities, sick leave, or changes in the professional career. A questionnaire on these factors was answered by more than 3000 Swedish dentists. Only 6% of the respondents had consulted a physician, although 22% had noted work-related skin symptoms. In 2% the skin symptoms had caused sick leave, and about 2% had reported their skin symptoms as an occupational disease. Two per cent had consulted a physician owing to work-related airway symptoms, which is a minor part of the 13% who had experienced such symptoms when in contact with dental materials. Twenty-five dentists (<1%) had been on sick leave because of work-related airway symptoms. Only 1 dentists reported change of activities or occupation owing to work-related skin or airway symptoms, and in most cases these symptoms only contributed to their decision. In summary, whereas sick leave in dentists because of musculoskeletal problems may be common, the present study shows that this is not the case for work-related skin or airway symptoms, and such symptoms seldom affect the dentists' professional career.

“…Allergic reactions have been observed when bare skin has been exposed to composite resin materials. This is particularly evident amongst dentists who have been sensitized to monomers in the composite: handling the composite material results in an allergic reaction, manifest as sores and blisters on the fingertips (Jacobsen et al 1991, Munksgaard 2000. However, it is not known whether composite resin restorations have adverse effects on the dental pulp, such as pain, irreversible pulpal inflammation and subsequent necrosis of the pulp tissue or apical periodontitis.…”

Endodontic complications in teeth with vital pulps restored with composite resins: a systematic review

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

Composite resin is used extensively for restoration of teeth with vital pulps. Although cell culture studies have disclosed harmful effects on pulpal cells, any untoward clinical effects, manifest as adverse pulpal responses, have yet to be determined. This study comprises a systematic review, designed to address the question of whether the risk of endodontic complications is greater with composite resin restorations than with other restorative materials, such as amalgam. The study methodology involved (i) formulation of the research question, (ii) construction and conduct of an extensive literature search with (iii) interpretation and assessment of the retrieved literature. A search of the medical database PubMed was complemented with a search of the Controlled Trials Register (CENTRAL). The initial search yielded 1043 publications, the abstracts of which were read independently by the authors. After additional searches, 10 studies were included in the review. In all the included studies, the level of evidence was assessed as low. No conclusions could therefore be drawn. The included studies reported few, if any, endodontic complications. Little or no differences emerged between teeth restored with composite resins and those restored with amalgam. To determine whether composite resin restorations of teeth with vital pulps are associated with an increased risk for development of endodontic complications such as apical periodontitis, further evidence is needed, from well-constructed studies with a large number of participants.
