Summary

The study compares the use of a dental aerosol box in preventing microbial transmission during dental procedure. Subjects requiring scaling treatment (BPE 2) will be recruited. Subjects will be allocated either into the control group (conventional suction method) or interventional group (dental aerosol box) Treatment will involve scaling of two quadrants, where data collection of the microbes will be taken. Secondary outcome will involve a self-administered questionnaire on patients acceptance over the scaling procedure either with conventional suction or using the dental aerosol box to contain the aerosol generated during the scaling procedure.

Conditions

  • Calculi

Interventions

DEVICE

Conventional suction system

This is the conventional method of using the dental high volume suction to contain the aerosol generated during dental procedure. The saliva ejector will also be used.

DEVICE

Dental aerosol box with modified high volume evacuation system

The dental aerosol box will be equipped with an exit for the high volume suction to be attached to contain the aerosol generated during dental procedure. The saliva ejector will also be used.
