ClinConnect Summary
This clinical trial is focused on understanding how effective certain safety measures are in a dental clinic during procedures that can create tiny droplets in the air, which is particularly important due to Covid-19. The study will look at the use of special equipment to remove these droplets and mouth rinses to see how they can protect dental workers and patients.
To participate, you need to be between 65 and 74 years old and scheduled for a dental procedure that involves preparing natural teeth, lasting at least an hour, and ideally, it should be the first appointment of the day. If you join this trial, you will help researchers determine the best ways to keep everyone safe during dental visits. This study is currently recruiting participants, so if you or a loved one is eligible, it might be a great opportunity to contribute to important safety research in dental care.
