Evaluation of methacrylates with regard to the effect of an allergy on the reduction of earning capacity:
- Usually sensitization to several methacrylates is present.
- Relevant occupational exposures: manufacture and processing of dentures (dental technicians), manufacture of paints, varnishes, adhesives and plastics, manufacture and processing of printing plates, printing inks, manufacture and processing of bone cement (surgeons) and activities involving the handling of methacrylate adhesives. Other cases of professionally acquired methacrylate allergy therefore concern printers, painters and varnishers, and sensitisation of beauticians by adhesives in artificial fingernails.
- Effect of an allergy: Despite the fact that there is usually a sensitization against several methacrylates, there is only a "minor" effect of an allergy.
