BTW you all may be overlooking the other benefits aside from hygiene, of using masks and gloves. Masks leave an element of doubt when the witness is asked to ID the dentist in the police lineup or in court, and the gloves mostly eliminate the fingerprint evidence. ;-)

I was '82. I was was of the few kids in my class who wore a mask all the time. We could have al the finger cots we wanted, but we took out impacted thirds molars with bare hands. If you had a cut on your hand they would grudgingly give you gloves, but regarded you as kind of a wuss for asking for them.

I graduates 10 years later and you could not find a pair of gloves in our Clinic. If they had them we were too low on the totem pole to get them.--I remember in Oral Surgery clinic our professor (an Oral Surgeon from Calgary) smoking cigarettes in the clinic and ash dropping from his cigarette into the patient's open mouth.Never saw a glove in that clinicThey could not keep finger cots in stock thoughCurtis

I graduated in '69. When any blood was involved, we always wore gloves. Just never wore them for denture adjustments, and the like.

I graduated in '82. The ONLY time we wore gloves was in OS when extracting a tooth and when we did perio surgery, when we used sterile gloves. If we had a cut on a finger, we took a finger cot from the supply desk. Finger cots were like little finger condoms that covered just one finger. Only people that had beards wore masks...lolwhen we finally had to wear gloves, they were about $15/box (not case, per BOX)

--Nobody wore gloves until 1985…remember…and then you could not buy the damned things because they could not make them fast enough. About half had holes in them according to research back then. Same went for handpieces. I’d been working with four high speeds and two slow speeds. At my volume then I needed at least a dozen handpieces to keep them autoclaved in my old Omniclave. I finally bought a high volume faster autoclave but kept using the Omniclave. Gave the Omniclave to a vet friend when I got a Midmark 11. I bought about 20 high speeds from low end sources and all used canister turbines. Those things didn’t last long but man would they cut when you first put them in and oiled them. We still have some handpieces that I got for 85 bucks a piece in 86. It was AIDS folks that invoked the terror.
When I was in the hospital last week a cute young lady was drawing blood after a male almost destroyed all the veins in my arm. She cut the finger out of the forefinger of the left glove so she could feel. I do this all the time doing endo…thumb and forefinger.
