- Abstract
The use of powered rubber gloves in the provision of dental care has produced a new variable in radiographic quality assurance procedures. Wearing powder-coated gloves while processing X-ray films can reduce the quality of the images obtained on processed radiographic film. To ensure that the optimum quality of processed film images is achieved, the operator must be careful to prevent the contamination of the film and processing solutions with powder.
