PROTECTIVE EQUIPMENT
Personal protective equipment (PPE) are special coverings designed to
protect dental health care personnel (DHCP) from exposure to or contact
with infectious agents or contaminants.

Dental health care personnel should wear a surgical mask that covers
both their nose and mouth during procedures that are likely to generate
splashes or sprays of blood, saliva or other body fluids and while
manually cleaning instruments. To avoid potential infection, they may
also use a face shield as an extra barrier and goggles to protect their
eyes from liquid or splash.

Surgical gloves used in dental practices are disposable items that must
be used whenever there is risk of exposure to body secretions or when
hands will come in contact with mucous membranes. Types of gloves:
Non-sterile examination gloves may be worn for non-surgical general
dental procedures.
Sterile gloves must be worn when a sterile field is necessary for
procedures such as oral, periodontal or endodontic surgery.
Heavy-duty utility, puncture-resistant gloves must be used during
manual instrument cleaning, rather than disposable latex gloves.
Nitrile gloves should be retained for use only when either the staff
member or a patient has an allergy to latex.

hygiene does not replace the need for gloves.

The CDC notes that the dental community has been doing a positive job
protecting dental staff and patients by using PPE such as masks, gloves,
eyewear, and gowns. Disinfectants, single-use materials, hand washing,
and up-to-date sterilization practices have also helped maintain safe
dental visits.
