Conclusion:Although it is clear that the microbial contamination occurred mainly during aerosol-generating dental procedures, our understanding of the contamination level, spread, and half-life are limited.doi:10.1111/jebm.12461Marina Tavares Costa Nóbrega...
As the major mode of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 appears to be airborne aerosols and droplets, there has been an intense focus on such aerosol generating procedures (AGP). As there has been no systematic reviews on the efficacy of bio-aerosol reducing measure in dentistry, the objective of ...
Aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) in dentistry have been defined as: “dental procedures using high speed devices such as ultrasonic scalers and drills”, which provides limited information about droplet and aerosols associated with specific periodontal procedures. Ultrasonic and sonic scaling refers to...
It maps aerosol generating procedures (AGPs), where possible, to alternative non-AGPs or low AGPs. This risk reduction approach overcomes the less favourable outcomes associated with temporary solutions or extraction-only approaches. Even if this risk reduction approach for aerosol generation becomes ...
Resin composites are known to possess a wide range of applications in dentistry, with orthodontics usage in bonding procedures of both fixed appliances as well as treatment with aligners and attachment adjuncts being in the spotlight.58 Normal composite composition comprises of the resin matrix (usual...
1 The use of rotary drills and ultrasonic-based bone-cutting instruments in the extraction of third molars are aerosol-generating procedures conducted by OMSs. Given the concern of aerosol generating techniques in dentistry and exposure of health care workers to the severe acute respiratory syndrome ...
To support this review, a survey was distributed to better understand the provision of aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) in dentistry. An online questionnaire was distributed to dental professionals asking about their current practice and beliefs about AGPs. Data were analysed using qualitative ...
Cohort selection The aim was to evaluate interventions to minimise microbial contamination from aerosol generating procedures in the dental office. Seven electronic databases were searched using key words such as 'aerosols', 'droplets', 'spatter', 'microbial loads' etc to identify relevant randomised ...
Its atraumatic, painless, non-invasive, and relative absence of discomfort and side effects has led to its use in dentistry with increased patient's acceptability and compliance thus making it an ideal choice for various treatment options in dentistry which would eventually lead to reduced aerosol ...
