ABSTRACT

Objectives : The purpose of the study is to examine the effect of the indoor environmentalfactors of dental hygienists on physical symptoms. Methods : The subjects were 210 dental hygienists in dental hospitals and clinics in Seoul,Gyeonggi Province, Incheon and South Chungnam Province from May 1 to June 20, 2013. Results : There were significant differences between the presence or absence of windows inrespiratory symptoms and eye symptoms. Room temperature, bad smell, and dry humidity hadsignificant influences on physical and respiratory symptoms. Dermatological and ophthalmologicalsymptoms were affected by dryness, smell and dusts. Dusts and bad smell also had influenceson a variety of subjective symptoms. Conclusions : The indoor environments of dental hospitals and clinics affect the respiratory,dermatological, and ophthalmological symptoms because various hazardous materials are generatedby the dental treatment. Therefore dental hygienists should have a correct understanding ofbacteria, dusts and bio-aerosol in order to ensure the successful environmental control.
