Since around the mid 1980s, dentists began to care for body fluids from patients as if they were infected. When relating to patients, it became to the norms to wear gloves among dentists. This is critical in conferring protection from blood borne pathogens to the wearer. This may be compromised by manufacturing defects or violations in integrity during function. For example, it can occur upon penetration by dental equipment.

Most commonly worn gloves are made of natural rubber latex. Unhappily, allergies to latex are increasingly encountered by both clinical staff and patients. Because of this result, manufacturers tried to produce an alternative for latex gloves. This new product was produced from synthetic latex such as polyvinyl chloride(PVC) which is called nitrile exam gloves.

According to researches, the latex gloves gave comparable puncture resistance with the nitrile gloves it was the ability of latex to reseal itself upon penetration that offered overriding additional protection. In any event, it should be carried in mind that wearing clinical gloves both reduces the volume of blood transferred in needlestick injuries by 46-86% and is also said to remove the needle clean. Because the effects of these two actions are cumulative, and the risk from transmission of an infectious agent is related to the amount of agent conveyed, the benefit of wearing gloves is very important for dentists.

The best choice for tear and puncture resistance, nitrile protects dentists with a comfort and fits like no other. Grip is enhanced by textured fingertips, yet still features the touch sensitivity. Ergonomically shaped to reduce hand fatigue, they provide a much needed alternative for those with latex allergies.
