The present study aims to demonstrate that ignorance of effect of permanent noise and the lack of prevention to protect themselves from the intensity of the industrial instruments causes a gradual decrease in the ability to hear with serious physical and psychological consequences for the professional, so it the main objective of this research is to determine the impact of occupational noise in the dentists. At present study I used analytical, quantitative, qualitative and bibliographic methods of investigation; further hearing tests and surveys to 96 dentists divided by years of work. After this data analysis, I can conclude that with increasing noise exposure and time working, we can see an increase in hearing loss of each professional. Dentists have greater hearing loss in the 5000 and 8000 Hz, it can be directly related to the mechanical instruments used dental offices, as these generate high Sound Pressure Level (SPL) in those frequencies. Could be determined SPL of several turbines where it was found that: FAMA turbine is in the range of 3000-12000 [Hz], reaching a peak of 95 [dBA]; NSK turbine reaches the range of 6,000 to 8,000 [Hz] with a peak of 87 [dBA]; CONCENTRIX dental turbine is in the range of 3,000 to 10,000 [Hz] and a peak of 95 [dBA]. In addition, there are other sources of noise reaching the following levels: Cavitron generated since 5000 [Hz] until 100 [dBA]. Syringe triple generated since 10000 [Hz] to 85 [dBA]. ix Compressor generates 190 [Hz] to 75 [dBA]. · Micromotor generates 1000 [Hz] to 100 [dBA]. Sucker generated 1000 [Hz] to 95 [dBA] The study conducted I can recommend that dentists should awareness about occupational risk inherent to their profession with the use of hearing protectors; well as consider acoustic treatment of dental offices to reduce the noise of the instruments. Further technology development is necessary to cancel the noise generated by the dental turbine, to protect dentists and reduce stress on the patient achieving greater comfort in both. |
