The dental assistant is disinfecting equipment. What type of gloves should she wear?





Correct Answer:
utility.


when a dental assistant is tasked with disinfecting equipment, the type of gloves most appropriate for this duty are utility gloves. this recommendation is based on the specific needs and safety requirements involved in handling and cleaning potentially hazardous materials that can be found on dental equipment.

utility gloves are designed to offer a higher level of protection against chemicals and bacteria compared to other types of gloves such as vinyl or latex. these gloves are usually made from thicker, more durable materials and provide better resistance to punctures and abrasions. this makes them ideal for use when cleaning with disinfectants, which can contain harsh chemicals that might degrade thinner gloves and expose the skin to harmful substances.

unlike examination gloves (typically made of latex or nitrile), which are used during patient treatment to prevent cross-contamination between the patient and the dental professional, utility gloves are not meant for delicate tasks that require high levels of tactile sensitivity. instead, they are designed for tasks involving cleaning and disinfection where contact with contaminants is likely.

it is crucial for dental assistants to utilize the correct type of gloves to ensure both their safety and the effectiveness of the cleaning process. using utility gloves while disinfecting equipment ensures that both the equipment is properly sanitized and that the assistant is protected from potential harm, adhering to the safety protocols necessary in dental practice environments.
