CEN/TC 55/WG 8
Occupational risk assessment related to dental materials
Polymer base materials (e.g. denture and orthodontic base materials, tray materials) may be a riskmaterial for dental personnel (e.g. dental technicians) as well as for patients because of the content oforganic substances (e.g. monomers). Still, the prevalence and awareness of the risk of polymer basematerials seems to be inhomogeneous surveyed in the European member bodies. The aim for the adhoc group WG 8 of CEN/TC 55 will be to review the present status regarding the prevalence andawareness of the risk of polymer base materials among dental personnel as well as patients. Inaddition the occupational health and safety regulations in different countries will be considered. Basedon the results of the survey the ad hoc group will make suggestions for improvements and consider theeconomical consequences.
