Modern dental techniques and technology require dental
technicians to be exposed to potential health hazards. One such hazard, silica
dust, can be easily inhaled and has been demonstrated to lead to silicosis or
lung cancer in some people. A quick solution to this problem is to install a dental
lab dust vacuum. It is important for the dental and orthodontics industries to
recognise these risks and provide dental professionals with the specialist
extraction solutions for their application to ensure their safety in the work
place.
Methyl Methacrylate (MMA) is used in making modern dentures
and plates and is considered a dangerous substance if it isn’t managed
properly, whilst electroplating can release hazardous contaminants into the air
causing respiratory problems. A dental lab fume hood will reduce the impact of
many of the materials that are necessary to offer the best dental care
available but can also be hazardous to health. This is why our dental lab
equipment is especially designed to help manage materials like beryllium,
chromium, cobalt and nickel to ensure that the risks are minimised and healthy,
clean environments are maintained by the dental industry as a whole.
