The manufacture of dental prostheses exposes the technician to inhalation of various potentially dangerous dusts (silica, hard metals, dental alloys and acrylic resins).
Inhalation of dusts produced by the technician in the work place may lead to several respiratory disorders (pneumoconiosis, hypersensitivity pneumonitis, asthma, lung cancer). The continuous development of new materials leads to further manifestations of these disorders and justifies their notification, even in the absence of an accepted occupational disease. This step is taken inconsistently as many dental technicians are not salaried or insured.
The seriousness of some of these disorders and the absence of effective treatment makes it important to develop effective methods of prevention for the protection of individuals and groups, and for early detection.
制作假牙会使技术人员吸入各种潜在危险粉尘（二氧化硅、硬质合金、牙科合金和丙烯酸树脂）。
技术人员在工作场所吸入粉尘可能导致多种呼吸系统疾病（尘肺、过敏性肺炎、哮喘、肺癌）。新材料的不断研发导致这些疾病有了更多表现形式，即便没有被认可的职业病，也有理由对其进行报告。但这一步骤执行得并不一致，因为许多牙科技术人员没有薪资或保险。
其中一些疾病的严重性以及缺乏有效治疗方法，使得开发有效的预防方法以保护个人和群体并进行早期检测变得很重要。
