Item Evaluación de los niveles de ruido en los laboratorios dentales de la Universidad Santiago de Cali(Universidad Santiago de Cali, 2021) Arias Zapata, Yuri Tatiana; Sinisterra Solis, Maryin Gissel; Sinisterra Riascos, Dennis Jesel; Rosales Basto, Alejandra Maria (Directora)Excessive noise causes long-term physiological and psychological effects and individuals are estimated to lose their hearing without realizing it. Noise causes discomfort, annoyance, headaches, stress, and irritability with prolonged periods of time using noisy instruments Objective: Determine the noise levels in the Dental Mechanics laboratories of the Santiago de Cali University Materials And Methods: This research is observational, descriptive and cross-sectional, 10 noise measurements were obtained within dental laboratories, by using an integrated sound level meter, to evaluate and identify if the noise limits allowed according to the regulation are exceeded. 4595 and Resolution 8321 of 1983) and the identification of comfort a The data were reported by the company G2 Acústica, then they were tabulated to make tables and graphs Results: The noise levels found in the Plaster Laboratory are: LAeq (Continuous Sound Pressure Level) 0.71.6 dB, in the Foundry Laboratory LAeq= 0.82.0 dB and in the ceramic Laboratory LAeq= 0.69.7 dB. Conclusions: In general, it is concluded that noise during practice, in the long term, can cause a decrease in hearing levels and that the longer the duration and intensity, the longer-term probability of suffering from hearing loss increases.
