Summary

A short description of working conditions is given. Out of 25 radiographs, 5 show possible pneumoconiosis due to hard metal and one is abnormal. The hazards due to the presence of beryllium in numerous alloys is emphasized as well as the necessity of technical and medical supervision in dental laboratories.

Weiterhin sei betont, dass viele Legierungen Beryllium enthalten. Aus diesen Gründen scheint eine technische und medizinische Ueberwachung der Zahntechniker notwendig.
