Protective device to reduce aerosol dispersion in dental clinics during the COVID‐19 pandemic 2020-08-18 .txt text/plain 4179 218 48 Current protocols recommend preventive measures to limit SARS-CoV-2 contagion in dentistry, such as patient triage, prescription of mouth rinses before dental treatment, hand hygiene, the use of personal protective equipment (PPE) (including gloves, N95 or FFP2 masks, protective outerwear, protective surgical glasses and face shields) for dental practitioners and the oral health team, use of rubber dam isolation, limitation of aerosol-producing procedures and cleaning of potentially contaminated surfaces (Izzetti et al. Thus, this study aimed to describe the use of a new protective device to reduce aerosol dispersion in dental clinics during the COVID-19 pandemic, to be used as a low-cost complementary resource in conjunction with standard PPE. The simulated dental procedure carried out in the present study followed a standardized protocol, aiming to illustrate the dispersion of aerosol particles using a fluorescent dye. ./cache/cord-310736-b31x746c.txt ./txt/cord-310736-b31x746c.txt
