| Research Abstract |
Blood and drill dust from dental plaque microorganisms, teeth, and filling materials can cause environmental polllution in the dental clinic. Currently, as a preventive measure against air pollution from a patient's mouth during dental treatment. Detetion of oral streptococci in the air-borne is used as an index on the presence of aerosol in consequence of the use of tooth preparation with high-speed air turbines. The air-borne bacteria in the dental clinics consisted of Guram-positive cocci(33%), Guram-positive bacilli(37%), Myces(38%). We recognized 30.6% oral-α,γ-haemolytic streptococci according to the growth shown on Mitis-Sali varius agar disk, while 4.5% recognized on blood agar disk. But we could not find oral-α-γ haemolytic streptococci from the airborne bacterium in the denal clinic's waiting room and in the research room. Oral-α-γ haemolytic streptococci using Mitis Salivarius ager showed more efficiency as the index in monitoring droplet infection at dental treatments and pollution of the in-clinic environment, thus considered as an efficient procedure in detection environmental pollution in the dental clinic. With detection of oral-α-γ haemolytic streptococci two hours after tooth-drilling, necessity of monitoring on standing of air-borne bacteria was considered. We tested the eliminating effects by the air-cleaning system (CLEAN PARTITON) with the plaque solution aerosol and the aerosol from drilling a tooth by examing the distriution of floating aerosol in the air turbine's tank when a plaque solution was sprayed and when a human tooth was drilled with a plaque solution.
