摘要：

The dental team is occupationally exposed to physical, chemical and biological hazards. Hand hygiene is the simplest, most effective measure for preventing health care associated infections. In order to evaluate occupational exposures to chemicals during hands hygiene protocols it was initiated a questionnaire-based study which included 279 dentists from Iasi, Romania. Data were analyzed using SPSS 15.0 program (p < 0.05). Compliance to the hand hygiene was 81.6%. Most used product for hand hygiene was the antimicrobial soap. Dentists in the 20-30 and 31-40 age group (56.6% and 61.5% respectively) use the hand rub technique with alcohol-based products. 18.4% of dentists do not wash their hands considering that using gloves is sufficient to prevent infection transmission. 36.5% of dentists reported adverse reactions to hands hygiene products like dryness, edema, redness, itching, burning and roughness. The adherence to gloves wearing was 98.9% while the prevalence of allergic reaction to latex is found to be 16%. Strategies to improve compliance to hand hygiene practices should take in account the compliance to the used products and adverse reactions prevention.
