Reasons to choose disposable Dental PPE

PPE, or Personal Protective Equipment, refers to any device worn or provided during the working day to protect workers against one or more risks that may threaten their health or safety.

In the case of Dental PPE, the situation is similar to medical PPE. The professional is in constant contact with patients and the nature of the work requires extremely close proximity to the patient’s airways, sometimes for several hours, making it impossible to maintain any safety distance.

Considering this, it is essential to choose PPE that ensures the safety of both the dentist and the patient when close contact is required. In this scenario, disposable protective elements offer several advantages compared to reusable options:

  • They prevent stains and cross-contamination, ensuring proper hygiene and reducing the transmission of agents.
  • Generally, disposable items have a surface that does not absorb or allow liquids or gases to pass through, making them impermeable.
  • They fit well and are lightweight, providing comfort.
  • As disposable garments are not subject to wear, they provide greater trust, since they are always in optimal condition.
  • Being single-use, they do not require storage after use.
  • Since they do not need washing or sterilisation, they offer significant economic and energy savings.

What should a disposable Dental PPE include?

When putting together a disposable Dental PPE kit, it should include:

As single-use garments and accessories, they must only be used once. Reusing or prolonging their use may reduce their effectiveness and compromise safety. However, being disposable does not mean they pollute when discarded, as they are 100% recyclable when placed in the correct container.
