“…An initial peak was followed by a steady decrease in permeation rate, and the membrane was hard and brittle after drying. This has also been observed by others, and it is probably a result of the plasticizer in the vinyl glove being dissolved by the test solutions (10, 15). D evlin & P iddock (20) tested two types of latex gloves after immersion in MMA for 30 min and found that both types of gloves increased in weight, owing to absorption of monomer into the latex structure.…”

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

The breakthrough times and permeation rates of two commonly used allergenic components in dentin bonding agents or resins, HEMA and TEGDMA, were measured for 5 types of latex gloves and 5 types of nitrile gloves. In addition, the breakthrough times and permeation rates for the gloves were measured for HEMA and TEGDMA when diluted with either ethanol or acetone-solvents often appearing in dentin bonding agents. The mean breakthrough times for the 5 latex gloves for HEMA and TEGDMA, concentrated, diluted in ethanol, or diluted in acetone, were 4.9, 4.8, and 2.8 min, respectively. For the 5 nitrile gloves the equivalent breakthrough times were 15.7, 9.9, and 2.8 min, respectively. There were great variations between the various gloves, and 1 nitrile glove showed a breakthrough time of 28-30 min when tested with concentrated HEMA and TEGDMA. Compared to latex gloves, nitrile gloves have a longer-lasting protection against skin contamination with methacrylates in the absence of solvents. The longer protection was reduced or not present for methacrylates diluted in organic solvents, especially acetone. In addition, the nitrile gloves showed fairly high permeation rates in the presence of this solvent. The results indicate that latex and nitrile gloves only give a limited protection against allergenic methacrylates in dentin bonding agents when they contain acetone.
