  • Title: Surgical glove related contact dermatitis.
    Author: Weesner BW.
    Journal: J Tenn Dent Assoc; 1991 Jan; 71(1):15-7. PubMed ID: 1825508.
    Abstract:
    With increased emphasis on infection control in the dental office has come an increase in complaints of adverse reactions to surgical gloves. A review of the literature reveals latex allergy problems not to be confined to gloves, but to involve articles of clothing, rubber dam material, and other latex-containing products. Life-threatening cases have been reported. The dental profession may be faced with compromising reactive possibilities in patients who have been previously sensitized. There is a need for development of alternative protective products for the dental office.
