Area of Science:

  • Occupational health
  • Allergology
  • Dental medicine

Background:

  • Dental professionals face significant risks of occupational allergies.
  • Underdiagnosis and inadequate management of these allergies are common.
  • This review addresses key aspects of dental occupational allergies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To summarize dental allergen identification methods.
  • To review diagnostic approaches for occupational allergies in dentistry.
  • To outline practical avoidance strategies for dental workers.

Main Methods:

  • Literature review of occupational allergies in dentistry.
  • Analysis of common dental allergens and reaction types.
  • Synthesis of current diagnostic and management recommendations.

Main Results:

  • Predominant allergens include methacrylates, natural rubber latex, glove allergens, and glutaraldehyde.
  • Allergic reactions manifest as contact allergy, urticaria, and occupational asthma.
  • Despite advances, effective treatment and management remain challenging.

Conclusions:

  • Improved recognition, diagnosis, and management of dental occupational allergies are necessary.
  • Enhanced information dissemination and collaboration between dental workers and clinicians are crucial.
  • Further efforts are needed to optimize patient care and prevent occupational sensitization.
