AB Asbestos in all its forms is a Group 1 material agent with proven carcinogenic effects in thehuman being since 1977. Exposure to asbestos can be considered unsafe. The use of asbestos in thefield of dentistry had a common use in the manufacture of dental prostheses in the 1960s and 1970s.Taking into account the long induction period of this agent and the plausibility for being a risk factorin dentistry, the objective of this study is to propose a plan for the prevention of occupational risksdue to asbestos exposure in dentistry by means of the contribution of a panel of experts. An ExpertPanel (EP) approach was used in which a group of nine experts identified and documented the useof asbestos in the dental profession. EP was created and followed the protocol in accordance withthe EuropeAid Assessment Guidelines. As a result of this study, EP documented the common useand sources of asbestos in dentistry in prosthetic materials, dental dressings, and in the coating ofcasting cylinders. EP also created a consensus document on the priority measures for the Plan forthe Prevention of Risks from Asbestos in Dentistry, based on previous reports from the EuropeanCommission Senior Labour Inspectors’ Committee. The document concluded that obtainment ofinformation, receiving specific training on the subject and performing epidemiological studies, andthe proper risk assessments were the priority measures to adopt.
