Resumen
El raspado ultrasónico puede propagar agentes infecciosos a través de aerosoles. Esta revisión detalla métodos previos, intra y posteriores al procedimiento, que incluyen ventilación, equipo de protección personal y filtración de aire, para minimizar los riesgos de contaminación en entornos dentales.
Área de la Ciencia:
- Odontología
- Control de Enfermedades Infecciosas
Sus antecedentes:
- El raspado ultrasónico es crucial para la terapia periodontal, eliminando eficazmente la placa y el sarro.
- La generación de aerosoles y salpicaduras durante el raspado ultrasónico presenta riesgos de transmisión de agentes infecciosos.
Objetivo del estudio:
- Revisar las estrategias para mitigar la contaminación por aerosoles en consultorios dentales.
- Evaluar los métodos para mejorar la seguridad durante la terapia periodontal.
Principales métodos:
- Revisión de medidas previas al procedimiento (ventilación, enjuagues bucales).
- Técnicas intraprocedimiento (selección de refrigerante, equipo de protección personal, evacuadores de alto volumen).
- Descontaminación posterior al procedimiento (reprocesamiento de instrumentos, desinfección de superficies, filtración de aire).
Principales resultados:
- Las medidas previas, intra y posteriores al procedimiento reducen significativamente la contaminación.
- La ventilación, los enjuagues bucales, el equipo de protección personal y los evacuadores de alto volumen son clave para limitar la exposición a aerosoles.
- Los filtros HEPA y la irradiación UV ayudan en la descontaminación del aire después del procedimiento.
Conclusiones:
- La implementación de protocolos de control integrales protege a los pacientes y a los profesionales dentales.
- Estas estrategias son vitales para controlar los riesgos asociados con las infecciones respiratorias en entornos dentales.

01:26Physical Methods for Controlling Microbial Growth: Radiation and Filtration
950
Radiation and filtration are essential tools for microbial control, targeting microorganisms through distinct mechanisms. Radiation eliminates microbes by damaging their DNA, either killing them or inhibiting their growth. Based on wavelength, radiation is classified into two types: nonionizing and ionizing radiation.Non-ionizing radiation, such as UV radiation (200–400 nm), is absorbed by DNA, causing defects that effectively disinfect surfaces, air, and water, including safety cabinets.

Transmission-based precautions are for patients infected or suspected to be infected (or colonized) with organisms posing a significant risk to others. The transmission precautions include airborne and protective environment precautions.
Airborne precautions:
Use airborne precautions when treating patients known or suspected to have diseases that spread through the air—for example, tuberculosis or measles. These organisms are present in smaller droplets expelled by an infected person and...
