Abstract:
Objective: To examine the effect of mouthwashing before dental procedure on environmental pollution of microorganism in dental clinic. Methods: Air samples in dental clinic after tooth preparation whether using mouthwashes or not pre operationally were collected and cultured with blood agar plates, the bacteria colonies formed on the plates in different groups were counted as the index for air contamination. Results: Environmental contamination from tooth preparation in dental clinic could be reduced significantly by using mouthwash pre operationally( P 0.05), but the size of the colonies formed on the plates in Kou Jie Su group was smaller than that in drinking water group. Conclusion: Environmental contamination from tooth preparation in dental clinic can be reduced by using mouthwash pre operationally. Combination of the pre operational mouthwashing with vacuum aspirator or ventilation installation may be a better way to control the possible cross infection in dental clinic.
