Protective Wear

Dental power scaling produces a bacterial aerosol sphere with a radius of up to 2m. Staff within this zone are at risk of being infected with aerosolised bacteria through inhalation or conjunctival contact. Designated protective wear should be worn during all dental procedures including manual cleaning of dental instruments. Eye protection is also important as it helps to prevent conjunctival infection from splatter and foreign bodies such as calculus. Full Face Shields provide protection for the eyes, nostrils and mouth as well as preventing face touching with contaminated gloved hands. High quality medical/surgical masks should ideally be worn under a face shield as an extra barrier against splatter to ensure maximum protection during dental procedures. For restorative procedures requiring a curing light, wearing UV protective glasses is a must.
