“…In 2003 the Norwegian Department of Health and Social Services published guidelines that encouraged dentists to minimize the use of amalgam to only those cases where no other type of filling material could be advocated 1,2) . Other Western countries (Finland, Austria, Germany, Sweden, and Denmark) have implemented similar or more restrictive guidelines especially for young children, pregnant women, and patients with kidney failure [3][4][5][6][7] .…”

Wear model simulating clinical abrasion on composite filling materials

The aim of this study was to establish a wear model for testing composite filling materials with abrasion properties closer to a clinical situation. In addition, the model was used to evaluate the effect of filler volume and particle size on surface roughness and wear resistance. Each incisor tooth was prepared with nine identical standardized cavities with respect to depth, diameter, and angle. Generic composite of 3 different filler volumes and 3 different particle sizes held together with the same resin were randomly filled in respective cavities. A multidirectional wet-grinder with molar cusps as antagonist wore the surface of the incisors containing the composite fillings in a bath of human saliva at a constant temperature of 37°C. The present study suggests that the most wear resistant filling materials should consist of medium filling content (75%) and that particles size is not as critical as earlier reported.

“…Van Noort et al (2004) reviewed the current status of postmarket monitoring of adverse reactions to dental materials and highlights some of the issues that arise in trying to establish an evidence base on the characteristics of adverse reactions to dental materials. Norway, Sweden and the UK have sought to monitor adverse reactions to dental materials systematically and proactively in an effort to add to the evidence base on the safety of dental materials.…”

“…A pro-active reporting system takes a considerable time to become established, but can generate a lot of potentially useful information. Van Noort et al (2004) concluded that there is a need to raise the awareness among dental professionals of the potential for adverse reactions due to dental materials and to develop an internationally accepted system of data gathering that can produce the evidence that reflect the extent, severity and incidence of adverse reactions to dental materials.…”

“…Most of the evidence of adverse effects takes the form of case reports, findings from surveys (Örtengren 2000) and reports from national reporting systems (van Noort et al 2004). Given the extent of the use of alternative restorative materials, hundred of millions of restorations annually, and the possibility that <7% of dental personnel may report skin symptoms when working (Örtengren 2000), it is surprising that the reported incidence of adverse effects to alternative restorative materials is low (van Noort et al 2004). The prevalence of verified allergic contact dermatitis amongst dental personnel (<1%) is much lower than the prevalence of self-reported skin symptoms (<7%) (Örtengren 2000).…”

Dental and dental personnel's are constantly exposed to a number of specific occupational hazards. This article analyze the potential hazards and various risks involved in persons exposed to prosthodontic practice mainly prosthodontist and the laboratory technicians. These risks include exposure to chemical, physical hazards, infectious environment, psychosocial hazards and various others. Personnel's working in the prosthodontic clinic should be aware of the specific risk factors and take necessary measures to prevent and overcome these hazards.
