Moore, Benny J., Solipuram, Sudheer R. and Riley, Michael W. (1995): The Effects of Latex Examination Gloves on Hand Function: A Pilot Study. In: Proceedings of the Human Factors and Ergonomics Society 39th Annual Meeting 1995. pp. 582-585.

“Over the last decade the use of latex examination gloves by dental professionals has increased significantly. The proliferation in latex glove use is primarily due to recommendations and guidelines established by both the Centers for Disease Control and the Occupational Safety and Health Administration. Because a significant number of dental professionals are wearing latex examination gloves, it is important to understand the limitations and restrictions associated with wearing these gloves. This study investigated the effects of hand condition on three-jaw chuck pinch strength, power grip strength and manual dexterity. Hand condition consisted of three levels: (1) bare hand, (2) hand with a normal sized latex examination glove and (3) hand with a tight fitting latex examination glove. The results of the study indicated that latex examination gloves do not have an effect on three-jaw chuck pinch strength or power grip strength. However the study suggested that ill-fitting latex examination gloves significantly reduce manual dexterity.”
