Are latex gloves a contributing cause of percutaneous injury in dentists?

Fifty dentists were examined to determine if (and how) latex gloves contributed to percutaneous injury, the leading cause of occupational AIDS/HIV transmission in health care workers. Latex glove wear is closely associated with a 16-fold increase in percutaneous injury with endodontic file manipulation than when subjects were tested barehanded. Dynamometer tests showed a 36 percent decrease in light-touch proprioception in subjects when they were gloved as compared to scores when they were tested barehanded. A 28 percent glove-related dermatitis rate among test subjects is also reported.
