Percutaneous injuries in dentistry: an observational study

J L Cleveland et al. J Am Dent Assoc. 1995 Jun.

Abstract

The authors conducted an observational study of the frequency and circumstances of percutaneous injuries among dental residents. Their findings suggest that most percutaneous injuries sustained by these dental residents occurred extraorally and were associated with denture impression procedures. Some injuries may be preventable with changes in techniques or instrument design.
