  • Title: [Occupational Raynaud's phenomenon in a dentist: a case report].
    Author: Tomasini M, Todaro A, Pogliaghi L.
    Journal: Med Lav; 1993; 84(1):51-4. PubMed ID: 8492736.
    Abstract:
    After more than 39 years of practice, a dentist showed Raynaud's phenomenon of the hand exposed to vibrations generated by dental instruments. Other possible occupational, pharmacological and systemic disease factors that could cause Raynaud's phenomenon were excluded. Since it has been reported in the literature that dentists and dental technicians could exceed the permissible limits for vibrations, an occupational etiology of this case is suggested on the basis of logical reasoning.
