SUMMARY:Face Mask Non-Compliance Among Dentists: Observational Study in Jo
 rdan
DESCRIPTION:Fatima Mgaedeh, Maya Al-Shoumarieh, and Muna Harb (Jordan Univ
 ersity Of Science & Technology) and Richard Stone (Iowa State University)\
 n\nWhile Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) represents the final tier in 
 the hierarchy of occupational safety controls, its efficacy remains depend
 ent on user adherence. This study examined real-world non-compliance of fa
 ce masks among  dental professionals to identify behavioral risks. The stu
 dy involved observing a fourteen dentists while working on patients while 
 wearing N95 and surgical masks across multiple clinical procedures. The im
 pact of procedure duration, professional experience, gender, and fatigue o
 n compliance levels were analyzed using a linear mixed-effects model. Find
 ings reveal that procedure duration significantly influenced the dentists 
 non-compliance, suggesting that prolonged clinical tasks may erode safety 
 behaviors. These results highlight the need for targeted interventions to 
 maintain PPE integrity during lengthy procedures.\n\n
