    Area of Science:

    • Dental Materials Science
    • Occupational Health and Safety

    Background:

    • Xylene is used for extrinsic coloring of facial prostheses.
    • Clinician exposure to xylene poses occupational health risks.

    Purpose of the Study:

    • To describe effective measures for reducing clinician xylene exposure.
    • To provide interim solutions for xylene exposure until ventilation is installed.

    Main Methods:

    • Review of existing literature on xylene exposure reduction.
    • Description of practical measures for modifying exposure.

    Main Results:

    • Several effective measures for reducing xylene exposure have been identified.
    • These measures are applicable during the extrinsic coloring process.
