Skin Reactions to Latex In Dental Professionals - First Croatian Data.

CONCLUSIONS: While a large number of subjects (56.1%) reported skin lesions when using latex products at their workplace, SPT test was positive only in 7.0%. The results show that the prevalence of self-reported skin lesions was significantly related to the length of occupational exposure, with a substantial effect size (p<0.001; V=0.334).
