Assessment of methyl methacrylate vapor toxicity on the rat tracheal epithelium

Abstract: ABSTRACT:Methyl methacrylate (MMA) is a monomer that is polymerized into resin by light and heat, producing a clear, resistant, durable and relatively inert plastic material. Because of these characteristics, MMA is largely used in Medicine as bone cement and in Dentistry, in dental braces and prostheses, thus generating continuous interest in its toxicity. Experimental and clinical studies have documented that monomers may cause a wide range of adverse health effects. The most important occupational exposure … Show more

“…. O contato cutâneo, também pode causar dermatites, irritações, alergias, entre outras sequelas, pois o monômero tende a ser absorvido pela pele, podendo circular na corrente sanguínea, atingindo outros órgãos 4,5 . Devido ao crescente número de profissionais que se expõem diretamente ao monômero, essa pesquisa teve como objetivo avaliar, por meio de questionários, os sinais e sintomas provocados pela resina acrílica em técnicos de prótese dentária e as medidas de segurança adotadas durante o seu processamento.…”

“…Case reports and studies have demonstrated that MMA can exert various effects that can endanger health, such as irritation of the skin, mucous membranes, and eyes, stomatitis, allergic dermatitis, neuropathy, and nervous system, and fertility disorders. Of these, the greatest concern pertains to respiratory tract irritation [4][5][6][7], with reporting cases of hypersensitive pneumonitis in dental technicians due to MMA vapor inhalation [8].…”
