Glove wearing during patient treatment has been considered to be an integral part of dental surgery cross-infection control routines. The degree of compliance with this recommendation was tested by distribution of a questionnaire to 1950 dentists known to be practising under the National Health Service (NHS) regulations in England and Wales. Of the dentists who replied, 40 were specialist orthodontists. Results indicated that 60 per cent of these orthodontic respondents used gloves routinely for all patients and procedures, while 25 per cent wore gloves for either selected patients or selected procedures. Fifteen per cent never wore gloves. Comparison with results from a similar survey carried out in 1989 indicated increasing compliance by the orthodontic respondents to glove-wearing recommendations. However, the levels of glove use by orthodontists was found to be lower than that of their general dental practitioner colleagues.
在患者治疗过程中戴手套被视为牙科手术交叉感染控制程序的一个重要组成部分。通过向1950名已知在英格兰和威尔士国民健康服务体系（NHS）规定下执业的牙医发放问卷，对他们遵守这一建议的程度进行了测试。在回复问卷的牙医中，有40名是正畸专科医生。结果表明，这些正畸专科医生的受访者中有60%在所有患者和操作中都常规使用手套，而25%仅在部分患者或部分操作中戴手套。15%的人从不戴手套。与1989年进行的一项类似调查结果相比，正畸专科医生的受访者对戴手套建议的遵守程度有所提高。然而，发现正畸专科医生的手套使用水平低于他们的普通牙科医生同行。
