Which type of gloves should be worn by dental healthcare personnel during instrument processing and operatory cleanup?

  1. Surgical gloves

  2. Examination gloves

  3. Utility housekeeping gloves

  4. Rubber gloves

The correct answer is: Utility housekeeping gloves

Utility housekeeping gloves should be worn by dental healthcare personnel during instrument processing and operatory cleanup because they offer protection against chemicals, pathogens, and sharp instruments. Surgical gloves are not necessary for these tasks and can be saved for more invasive procedures. Examination gloves are thinner and not as durable as utility gloves, making them less suitable for handling potentially hazardous materials. Rubber gloves are typically used for household cleaning and do not offer the same level of protection as utility gloves.
