This document has been prepared by Working Group 8 Occupational risk assessments of CEN/TC 55
Dentistry.
Introduction
In 2008 CEN/TC 55 established a new working group WG 8 Occupational risk assessments. The rationale for
the group was concern about occupational health issues for personnel working with methacrylate-based
products in dentistry. These materials (e.g. removable denture and orthodontic base materials, tray materials,
dental repair materials etc.) may pose a risk because of the presence of methacrylate monomers. The
objective of WG 8 was to review the present status regarding the prevalence and awareness of the risk of
methacrylate based materials among dental personnel. In addition the occupational health and safety
regulations in different countries were considered. Based on the results of the survey carried out by the group,
this Technical Report has been produced as a guideline for handling methacrylate based materials in dental
laboratories to maintain the safety of the occupational environment.
Aspects of this report may be applicable to dental practises.
After reviewing the scientific literature and making an investigation among European dental technicians,
