Résumé
Occupational hand eczema is a common inflammatory skin condition among healthcare professionals. Orthodontists are frequently exposed to a variety of irritating and allergenic substances, and therefore they belong to a predisposed group to develop hand eczema. However, current data on the prevalence and predisposing factors among orthodontists to provide adequate prophylaxis are lacking. An anonymous online survey was conducted in Germany between January and February 2023 and distributed to 2402 orthodontists. The questionnaire addressed general information on current skin status, as well as occupational skin exposure and skin care. A total of 209 orthodontists responded to the survey. Seventy-four percent reported experiencing hand eczema-specific symptoms within the last 12 months, with 24% describing moderate and 10% describing severe symptoms. The average daily glove wearing time was stated to be 6 ± 2 h. The most frequently reported triggers at work were frequent hand washing (62.7%) and hand disinfection (59.1%). Among all the respondents, 22.6% stated not using either barrier cream or moisturizer. This study showed a high prevalence of hand eczema symptoms among orthodontists, which is probably due to frequent disinfection, hand washing, and contact with allergens such as acrylates. In this professional group especially, against a background of future increasing acrylate and epoxy resin exposures due to in-office three-dimensional printing processes, timely education and skin protection could decisively counteract the pathogenesis of hand eczema. ZIELSETZUNG: Das berufsbedingte Handekzem ist eine häufige entzündliche Hauterkrankung bei Heilberufstätigen. Kieferorthopäd*innen sind häufig einer Vielzahl von reizenden und allergenen Substanzen ausgesetzt und gehören daher zu einer prädisponierten Gruppe für die Entwicklung eines Handekzems. Es fehlen jedoch aktuelle Daten über die Prävalenz und prädisponierende Faktoren bei Kieferorthopäd*innen, um eine angemessene Prophylaxe zu gewährleisten. Eine anonyme Online-Umfrage wurde zwischen Januar und Februar 2023 in Deutschland durchgeführt und an 2402 Kieferorthopäden verschickt. Der Fragebogen adressierte allgemeine Informationen zum aktuellen Hautstatus sowie zu beruflich bedingter Hautexposition und Hautpflege. Insgesamt 209 Kieferorthopäd*innen nahmen an der Umfrage teil. Vierundsiebzig Prozent gaben an, in den letzten 12 Monaten an handekzemspezifischen Symptomen gelitten zu haben, wobei 24% moderate und 10% schwere Symptome beschrieben. Die durchschnittliche tägliche Tragezeit von Handschuhen wurde mit 6 ± 2 h angegeben. Die am häufigsten genannten Auslöser bei der Arbeit waren häufiges Händewaschen (62,7%) und Händedesinfektion (59,1%). Von allen Teilnehmenden gaben 22,6% an, weder Hautschutz- noch Feuchtigkeitscremes zu verwenden. Die Studie ließ eine hohe Prävalenz von Handekzemsymptomen bei Kieferorthopäd*innen beobachten, was wahrscheinlich auf häufiges Desinfizieren und Händewaschen sowie den Kontakt mit Allergenen, wie Acrylaten, zurückzuführen ist. Vor dem Hintergrund der zukünftig zunehmenden Acrylat- und Epoxidharzbelastung durch 3‑D-Druckverfahren in der Praxis könnte gerade in dieser Berufsgruppe durch rechtzeitige Aufklärung und Hautschutz der Pathogenese des Handekzems entscheidend entgegengewirkt werden.
