...Abstract |
Introdution: During many dental
interventions, performed using handpiece instruments and pusters, an
aerosol is created,which is converted into a bioaerosol (BIOA) by mixing
with the particles of various organic components from the patient's oral
cavity.When the high-speed mashine is started, the air becomes instantly
contaminated and practically covers the entire room. Pollution is
registered all the times, as well as after prosthetic treatment. BIOA
created during prosthetic workcontains various bacteria, fungi and
viruses from the patient's oral cavity. These microorganisms pose a real
hazard to health workers and are a potential risk for infection. The
most common pathogens include influenza viruses, herpes viruses, as well
as pathogenic streptococci and staphylococci. Infectious diseases,
biosynosis, acute toxic reactions, allergies, atopic diseases,
conjunctivitis, contact dermatitis, infections of the respiratory
system, and even some types of cancer, are possible manifestations of
side effects of BIOA.
Key words: bioaerosol, contamination, dental staff
