Surgical masks are medical devices regulated by the US Food and Drug Administration (FDA).
It was initially recommended that masks be used in health care to prevent bacteria and viruses atomized during treatment. With the further understanding of respiratory tract infection and its control, the reasons for wearing masks have also been expanded, including the prevention of flying particles, splashes and aerosols. The highest concentration of dental aerosol occurs within 2 feet in front of the patient, usually where the dental care provider is located. Exposure to aerosol particles during dental surgery may be extensive. In addition, with the evaporation of larger droplets, residual droplet nuclei with a diameter of less than 10 microns (UM) are formed and can be kept in the air for a long time in the dental treatment area. 95% of dental treatments produce aerosols less than or equal to 5 microns in diameter, containing a variety of pathogenic bacteria and viruses. If used properly, a mask covering the nose and mouth can protect bealth professionals.
Masks that cover the nose and mouth protect health professionals when used correctly. Determinant: mask should be changed:
1. For each patient;
2 after 1 hour of prolonged treatment;
3. Once every 20 minutes in a highly atomized environment.
The filtering capacity of the mask is determined by the following factors:
1. The size of the pores in the mask (microns).
2. Filtration efficiency, measured by the percentage of particles filtered through the mask.
Wear a mask:
1. Wash hands before touching the mask
2. Orient the mask so that a is positioned correctly. Front vs. back – the face up in the box is always the front of the maskb. Up and down – folds should open down (i.e. “waterfall” effect). c. The aluminum nose strap is pre bent to the nose contour to help position it to fit Plush
3. Hold the mask with earrings and circle around each ear
4. The malleable strip on the upper edge of the mask is molded into a nose shape
5. Pull the bottom of the mask over your mouth and chin
Mask removal
1. Avoid contact with the contaminated face of the mask
2. When only touching the earlobe, remove the mask from the ear and from the face
3. Dispose of used masks in waste containers (Note: contaminated masks are not considered controlled medical waste)
