Changes to dental practice in recent years have altered the reported frequencies of allergens causing contact dermatitis in both dental professionals and dental patients. In the current cross-sectional study, we used a structured questionnaire and clinical examinations to examine the prevalence of self-reported hand eczema among United Arab Emirates (UAE). The relationship between subjective skin discomfort and latex, composite\/bonding, or other dental materials also was explored. A structured questionnaire was designed to analyze the prevalence of skin conditions among dental professionals and study its implication in gender, occupation, and age groups. The questionnaire included information about skin symptoms, atopy, occupational experience, and other background factors like respiratory symptoms, work history and methods, and exposure at work. It was distributed to 550 randomly selected dental healthcare professionals. Out of 550 dental healthcare workers contacted, 434 responded giving a response rate of 79%. The prevalence of dry and rough skin on the hands was highest (45%). There was a total of 29 cases of allergic contact dermatitis, 15 cases of contact urticaria, 12 cases of irritating contact dermatitis, and 1 incidence of onychomycosis among the 100 dental healthcare professionals who reported having dermatitis on their hands, forearms, or faces due to their daily dental chores. Rubber chemicals and natural rubber latex (NRL) in protective gloves used by dentists, as well as dental-restorative plastic materials (methylacrylates), were the most common causes of allergy. Dry skin and hand eczema were more common among dental healthcare professionals. Plastic gloves or NRL gloves with a low protein content are recommended for dental work. Skin exposure to methylacrylates or latex should be avoided.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.4103\/jpbs.jpbs_669_22","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,12]],"date-time":"2023-07-12T02:07:24Z","timestamp":1689127644000},"page":"S513-S518","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.1097\/lww.0000000000001000","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":5,"title":["Self-Reported Allergic Occupational Contact Dermatitis among Dental Healthcare Professionals in United Arab Emirates -A Cross Sectional Study"],"prefix":"10.4103","volume":"15","author":[{"given":"Mohamed","family":"Jaber","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Clinical Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Ajman University, Ajman, UAE"},{"name":"Center of Medical and Bio-Allied Health Sciences Research, Ajman University, Ajman, UAE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Prathibha","family":"Prasad","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Basic Medical and Dental Sciences, College of Dentistry, Ajman University, Ajman, UAE"},{"name":"Center of Medical and Bio-Allied Health Sciences Research, Ajman University, Ajman, UAE"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"276","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,5]]},"reference":[{"key":"R1-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"63","DOI":"10.1046\/j.1440-0960.2000.00398.x","article-title":"Allergic contact dermatitis in dentistry","volume":"41","author":"Rubel","year":"2000","journal-title":"Aust J Dermatol"},{"key":"R2-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"293","DOI":"10.20471\/acc.2016.55.02.17","article-title":"Occupational contact dermatitis amongst dentists and dental technicians","volume":"55","author":"Lugovi\u0107-Mihi\u0107","year":"2016","journal-title":"Acta Clin Croat"},{"key":"R4-20240829","first-page":"713","article-title":"Irritant and allergic contact dermatitis-Skin lesion characteristics","volume":"57","author":"Novak-Bili\u0107","year":"2018","journal-title":"Acta Clin Croat"},{"key":"R6-20240829","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"266","DOI":"10.1111\/cod.12943","article-title":"Contact sensitization in dental technicians with occupational contact dermatitis.
