Dental Aerosol Hazard Prevention with Pre-procedural Antiseptic Mouthwashes (Comparative Study)

Background: One of the recommended methods for reducing aerosol contamination during daily regular usage high-speed turbine and ultrasonic scaling is use preprocedural mouth rinse. Several agents have been investigated as a Chlorhexidine significantly reduce viable microbial content when used Studies shown that cetylpridinum chloride (CPC) mouthwash equally effective chlorhexidine in plaque gingivitis. This study compared effect 0.07% CPC to 0.2% gluconate (CHX) rinses by turbine. Materials Methods: 36 patients were divided into three groups based on rinse (0.2% CHX, distilled water). Conservative treatment was done 20 min. (10 min before rinsing 10 after rinsing) same closed operatory all keeping blood agar plates opened at standardized locations (patient chest, dentist chest 12-inch from patient mouth). Colony forming units (CFUs) counted, incubation 37°C 48 hr. Statistical analysis with (SPSS version 21(. Results: showed two antiseptic mouthwashes reduced bacterial colony samples locations. found be superior pre-procedurally aerolized bacteria. The number CFUs higher patient’s location other Conclusion: CHX pre-procedural CFU count dental using
