Evaluation of Aerosol in a Dental Clinic

Intra oral suction will be done and during the procedure,bacterial colony forming units (cfus) will be captured during dental care by placing large format petri dishes containing bacterial culture media in the dental operatory with open lids. Once aerosol capture is complete, petri dishes will be incubated and quantified under BSL-2 safety conditions in the lab. Patient will be given a mouth rinse.

Extraoral suction connected to dental suction will be used and bacterial colony forming units (cfus) will be captured during dental care by placing large format petri dishes containing bacterial culture media in the dental operatory with open lids. Once aerosol capture is complete, petri dishes will be incubated and quantified under BSL-2 safety conditions in the lab. Patient will be given mouth rinse.

Subjects will be given 1.5 % Oral Solution of hydrogen peroxide mouth rinse

Subjects will be given a placebo (plain water) mouth rinse
