Title:
Allergic Contact Dermatitis in Dentists and Dental Nurses.

Materials and methods

Type of sensitisation studied:
skin
Study type:
survey
Principles of method if other than guideline:
The incidence of allergic contact dermatitis was analysed in 79 dentists and 46 dental nurses referred during 1990 - 2000 for consultation to the Nofer Institute of Occupational Medicine, Lodz, Poland. Allergic contact dermatitis was diagnosed from the positive results of patch tests and type I allergy to latex and common environmental allergens from the positive results of prick tests.

Ethical approval:
not specified
Subjects:
- Number of subjects exposed: 125 (79 dentists and 46 dental nurses)
- Sex: 72 women and 7 men (dendists) and 46 women (dental nurses)
Controls:
none
Route of administration:
dermal
Details on study design:
Type of test used: patch test (epicutaneous test)

Administration: Patch tests were applied and inspected according to the guidelines of the International Contact Dermatitis Research Group (Fregert S: Manual of Contact Dermatitis, ed 2., Copenhagen, Munksgaard, 1981).

Results and discussion

Results of examinations:
- Contact dermatitis (at least 1 positive result of the patch test) was diagnosed in 56 (70.9 %) dentists and 34 (73.9 %) dental nurses. Among the most frequent sensitizers were acrylates with 25.3 %. Allergy to acrylates was detected in 20 dentists of which 8 reacted to 2-hydroxyethyl acrylate and 5 to 2-hydroxypropyl acrylate, respectively.
- Number of subjects with positive reactions: 5/20
