Dental residents experience percutaneous injuries, often occurring outside the mouth during denture impression procedures. Prevention may be possible through technique or instrument modifications.

Area of Science:

  • Dental Medicine
  • Occupational Health
  • Infection Control

Background:

  • Percutaneous injuries pose a significant risk in healthcare settings, potentially leading to pathogen transmission.
  • Understanding the specific circumstances of these injuries among dental residents is crucial for targeted prevention strategies.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate the incidence and situational factors associated with percutaneous injuries in dental residents.
  • To identify common procedures and contexts where these injuries occur.

Main Methods:

  • An observational study design was employed.
  • Data collection focused on the frequency and specific circumstances of percutaneous injuries reported by dental residents.

Main Results:

Related Experiment Videos

  • The majority of percutaneous injuries occurred extraorally.
  • Denture impression procedures were frequently associated with these injuries.
  • Findings indicate a need for improved safety measures during specific dental procedures.

Conclusions:

  • Percutaneous injuries among dental residents are often linked to extraoral events during denture impressions.
  • Modifications in dental techniques and instrument design could potentially reduce the occurrence of these preventable injuries.
