EYE-RELATED TRAUMA AND INFECTION IN DENTISTRY

Despite numerous technological and medical developments achieved in recent years, a significant amount of occupational health problems still exist in modern dentistry. The risk of eye injury is mostly attributed to the use of high-speed hand pieces and ultrasonic devices.

Accidents may cause facial injuries that involve eyes of the clinicians, patients as well as dental assistants. Eye injuries can vary from mild irritation to blindness.

Clinicians should be aware that they are also responsible for providing adequate protection for their assistants and patients, as well as themselves
