Abstract:
Ambidextrous gloves stretch significantly more and exert greater force than fitted gloves when worn. Over time, this force could contribute to vascular constriction, nerve compression, muscle fatigue and hand pain. This study suggests that research on the effects of glove use by dental care personnel is needed.
