To investigate the puncture resistance of a recently introduced non-latex, nitrile dental glove in comparison with a latex glove worn during routine clinical dental procedures.
Dentists in general dental practice working within the UK during 1999.
2,020 gloves worn by five general dental practitioners were examined for punctures following standard clinical use by a water inflation method. Procedures undertaken during glove usage and length of time worn were recorded.
Following clinical use, 1.9% of the latex gloves and 5.3% of the nitrile gloves had punctures, a statistically significant difference (P < 0.0001). The puncture resistance of the nitrile gloves was superior to the puncture resistance of previously tested worn non-latex (vinyl) gloves. There was no evidence of a statistically significant difference between operators for the percentage or incidence of punctured gloves (P = 0.787) after correcting for glove type. No statistically significant difference was noted between incidence of puncture in the control, unused gloves (n = 200 for each type) and the gloves examined following clinical use (P = 0.907 for nitrile, P = 0.613 for latex).
No increase in the number of punctures was noted following clinical use for either glove type. This could be considered to indicate good puncture resistance of the gloves tested in clinical use.
研究一种新推出的非乳胶丁腈牙科手套与常规临床牙科操作中使用的乳胶手套相比的抗穿刺性。
1999年在英国从事一般牙科诊疗工作的牙医。
通过水膨胀法对五名普通牙科医生使用的2020只手套进行标准临床使用后的穿刺检查。记录手套使用过程中进行的操作以及佩戴时间。
临床使用后，1.9%的乳胶手套和5.3%的丁腈手套有穿刺孔，差异具有统计学意义（P<0.0001）。丁腈手套的抗穿刺性优于先前测试的非乳胶（乙烯基）手套。校正手套类型后，不同操作人员的手套穿刺百分比或发生率之间没有统计学显著差异（P=0.787）。对照未使用手套（每种类型n = 200）和临床使用后检查的手套的穿刺发生率之间没有统计学显著差异（丁腈手套P = 0.907，乳胶手套P = 0.613）。
两种手套类型临床使用后穿刺数量均未增加。这可被认为表明在临床使用中测试的手套具有良好的抗穿刺性。
