This study intended to evaluate noise level of dental handpieces and the effects of noise cancelling devices. An ear

model was designed to measure the level of the noise delivered to the inner ear during dental handpiece operation. The

level of noise was measured in various conditions using the ear model and the portable noise meter. Noise level was

measured again after applying of 4 different noise cancelling devices to the model ear.

The noise level of dental handpieces was 82.5 - 84.4 dB. When 4 types of noise canceling devices were applied, the

noise level reduced to 67.4 - 73.8 dB. All 4 devices had statistically significant effect in reducing the noise of the handpiece. Considering the intensity and exposure time, noise in dental clinics can cause hearing damage to dentists. For protection

from the risk of occupational hearing damages, noise canceling devices can be recommended.

Key words : Noise, Dental handpiece, Noise cancelling, Hearing protection
