Abstract
O presente trabalho tem como objetivo a avaliação dos índices de perfurações em luvas de látex, cirúrgicas e de procedimentos, após atendimentos rotineiros cirúrgicos e periodontais na Faculdade de Odontologia da Universidade Federal de Sergipe – UFS. A amostra foi constituída por 304 luvas utilizadas nos procedimentos realizados entre agosto de 2006 e julho 2007. Em 30 luvas não utilizadas, foram verificadas possíveis ocorrências de perfurações provenientes de processos de manufatura. Das 304 luvas examinadas, 180 foram luvas de procedimentos, não estéreis, usadas em terapia periodontal não cirúrgica, e as outras 124 foram luvas cirúrgicas estéreis, usadas em 62 cirurgias dentoalveolares. As coletas das luvas ocorriam imediatamente após os procedimentos e logo eram submetidas à análise por meio do método de enchimento com água e ligeira compressão. Posteriormente, as seguintes informações foram documentadas: clínica pesquisada, o tipo de procedimento e sua duração, a localização da perfuração e se o operador é destro ou canhoto. No total, 65 luvas (21,3%) tiveram pelo menos uma perfuração. A análise dos índices relativos às clínicas revelou que Periodontia II obteve o maior índice (30%), seguida de Cirurgia I (29%), Cirurgia II (16,6%) e Periodontia I (15%). Nas 30 luvas não utilizadas, não foram observadas perfurações. Em relação à literatura pesquisada, a média geral de perfurações encontrada neste estudo se mostrou elevada.

Resumo
The aim of this study was to evaluate the incidence of perforations in sterile and not sterile latex gloves, after surgical and periodontal routine procedures developed at the Dental School of the Federal University of Sergipe. The sample was constituted by 304 gloves, used by undergraduate students from August 2006 to July 2007, and 30 unused gloves that were checked for perforations proceeding from manufacture processes. From the amount of used gloves, 180 of those had been not barren gloves (90 periodontal procedures) and the others 124 had been barren gloves (62 surgical procedures). The gloves were collected immediately after the procedures and were submitted to analyses with the water wadding method and mild compression. Thereafter, the following points were registered: clinic researched, type of procedure and its long, site of perforation and operator skill. Considering the totality of perforations, Periodontics II had the highest index (30%), followed by Surgery I (29%), Surgery II (16.6%) and Periodontics I (15%). In total, 65 gloves (21,3%) had at least one perforation and considering the literature researched, this is a high index.
