Turner's painting of a dental surgeon's rooms, discussed in the first of these two papers,(1) is a very satisfying work of art, successful in its relaying of a domestic drama, and also fulfilling Payne Knight's commission to produce a work to equal that of the older masters. It cannot, though, be relied upon to show us what a late Georgian dentist's rooms actually looked like. For this we are very fortunate to have Turner's sketchbook, with its preparatory drawings for the painting.
The assessment of side effects of substances encountered in odontology by patients and the dental team must include the direct and indirect effects of irradiation emitted from polymerisation devices. The eyes of the lamp operators are at risk from acute and cumulative effects, mainly due to back-reflection of the blue light. Furthermore, phototoxic and photoallergic reactions originating from absorbed radiation in endogenous or exogenous substances accumulated in the operators' eyes and skin (hands) as well as the patients' oral mucosa must also be taken into consideration. Preventive measures include reading the manufacturers' operating instructions for curing devices and using radiation-filtering protection goggles.
