Evaluation of Aerosol in a Dental Clinic
Purpose
The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effectiveness of external evacuation units
and mouth rinses during aerosol generating procedures in a dental clinic and to determine
the risk level to the dental practitioners during aerosol generating procedures.

Arm Groups
Arm | Description | Assigned Intervention |
Experimental High volume evacuation (HVE) suction only and hydrogen peroxide
|
|
-
Device: High volume evacuation (HVE)
Intra oral suction will be done and during the procedure,bacterial colony forming units
(cfus) will be captured during dental care by placing large format petri dishes
containing bacterial culture media in the dental operatory with open lids. Once aerosol
capture is complete, petri dishes will be incubated and quantified under BSL-2 safety
conditions in the lab.Patient will be given hydrogen peroxide rinse.
-
Drug: Hydrogen Peroxide
Subjects will be given 1.5 % Oral Solution of hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse
|
Experimental HVE suction and extraoral vacuum aspirator (EVA) and hydrogen peroxide

Device: Extraoral vacuum aspirator (EVA)
Extraoral suction connected to dental suction will be used and bacterial colony forming
units (cfus) will be captured during dental care by placing large format petri dishes
containing bacterial culture media in the dental operatory with open lids. Once aerosol
capture is complete, petri dishes will be incubated and quantified under BSL-2 safety
conditions in the lab.Patient will be given hydrogen peroxide rinse.
