This document discusses personal protective equipment (PPE) used for infection control, including gloves, masks, and protective eyewear. Gloves should be changed between patients and not worn for long periods. Masks covering the nose and mouth can reduce inhalation of infectious particles from dental aerosols. Protective eyewear with side shields can prevent physical injury and infection from particles ejected from patients' mouths during dental procedures.

This study compared the efficacy of four mouthwash solutions in reducing plaque and gingivitis over 6 months in a population with good oral hygiene: 1) two low-dose 0.06% chlorhexidine preparations, 2) a commercially available 0.1% chlorhexidine solution, 3) an amine fluoride/stannous fluoride solution, and 4) a water control. All solutions reduced plaque levels, but the 0.1% and 0.06% chlorhexidine solutions were more effective at 3 months. The 0.1% chlorhexidine solution also produced greater reductions in gingivitis than the control. However, it also caused more discoloration than potential alternative solutions.
44 윤정현 diet and the microbial aetiology of dental caries new paradigmsdlawogud
This article reviews the evolving theories around the causes of dental caries over the last 120 years. It discusses how early theories focused on deficiencies in diet, but it is now understood that bacteria like Streptococcus mutans play a key role by metabolizing sugars like sucrose in plaque and lowering the pH. While S. mutans was long thought to be the primary cause, more recent studies find a broader range of bacteria are involved. In addition to sugars, starches can also cause caries. Future caries prevention strategies may focus more broadly on targeting plaque acidity and acidogenic microbes, rather than only S. mutans. An optimal diet remains important to reducing caries risk.

This document summarizes a study that evaluated the microleakage of dental fissure sealants following the use of different preparatory techniques. 90 teeth were divided into 3 groups: group A received preparation with a fissurotomy bur, group B received pumice prophylaxis, and group C received no preparation. All groups received etching, adhesive, and sealant. Teeth were thermocycled and stained to assess microleakage. The study found that the fissurotomy bur and pumice prophylaxis groups had lower microleakage scores than the no preparation group, indicating that preparatory techniques enhance sealant adhesion and reduce microleakage.
