Abstract

The articles about various pneumoconiosis in dental technicians who work in inconvenient conditions have been increasing in recent years. Exposure to dust and fume that occur during the dental procedure may play role in pneumoconiosis of dental technicians. A 53 years old male patient conveyed that he has worked in dental prosthesis procedures for 22 years (1968-1990).Environmental asbestosis was not established in the history of the case but there were calcified pleural plaques in the chest x-ray graphy.There were appearance of calcific asbest plaques in many section of thorax CT. A case of pneumoconiosis in dental technician who work in unadequate preventive conditions was reported in this paper. Probably ,exposure to the asbest fibers that occurs during the procedure of dental prosthesis were the main reason for developing calcific pleural lesions.

Özet

Son dönemlerde uygun olmayan koşullarda çalışan diş teknisyenlerinde çeşitli pnömokonyozlar ile ilgili yayınlar artmaktadır. Protez işlemleri esnasında ortaya çıkan çeşitli toz ve duman maruziyeti, diş teknisyenleri pnömokonyozunda rol oynamaktadır. Yaklaşık 22 yıl (1968-1990) diş teknisyeni olarak görev yapan 53 yaşındaki erkek hasta, bütün protez işlemlerinde görev yaptığını tarif etti. Çevresel asbest teması saptanmayan olgunun akciğer grafisinde kalsisifiye plevral plaklar saptandı. Toraks bilgisayarlı tomografide ise kalsifik asbest plaklarını düşündüren görünümler saptandı. Bu çalışmada korunma koşulları uygun olmayan laboratuarlarda çalışan diş teknisyeninde gelişen pnömokonyoz vakası bildirilmiştir. Muhtemelen protez işlemi esnasında ortaya salınan asbest liflerinin plevral plak oluşturabileceğini düşündük.
