CONTAMINATION TRIGGERED BY SPRAY RELEASED FROM HIGH ROTATION CANS USED IN DENTISTRY

Resumen

Objective: The objective of this review article is to address how the spray released during the use of the high-speed dental pen can end up triggering contamination processes in the environment in which the dentist is using it, addressing what this could cause and how it would, in addition to highlighting this spray release mechanism. Methodology: In order to acquire only articles, research and studies on the topic addressed in this article, the following descriptors were used during searches on online sites: High-Speed Dental Equipment; Aerosols; Contamination; Aerosolized Particles and Droplets. In order to obtain the maximum amount of safe, current and scientifically tested information, research was carried out in databases that have data related to the topic. The research was done on the following websites: PUBMED, BVS/BIREME, CAPES Periodicals Portal, Web of Science, DeCs, Scielo, PROSPERO, The Cochrane Library, Science Direct, FT Magazine, LUMEN ET VIRTUS Magazine and Research, society and development journal. To compose this set of information, gray literature was also used to compose the review article. Results: Articles, course completion papers, master's and doctoral studies and books that show scientific evidence about the possible contamination triggered by the spray were acquired. Conclusion: Thus, it is seen that the spray can indeed contribute to contamination, which can harm the life of the dentist, ASB and the patient himself, and can cause them to end up acquiring health problems such as diseases.
