2. Write a short note on pre-procedural mouth rinses used in COVID-19 era. (5 marks)
Kohn et al. state that although there is a lack of evidence that pre-procedural rinses prevent
infections in dental care providers, they have been shown to reduce the level or oral microorganisms
in aerosols and spatter from rotary handpieces, and suggest they may be more beneficial where
rubber dams and high volume evacuation are not used. A recent rapid review found no literature or
guidelines on the effectiveness of mouth rinses for patients with severe acute respiratory syndrome
or COVID-19. they found one experimental study on COVID-19 inactivation by povidone-iodine at
various concentrations and contact time. Bidra et al found about a 3 log reduction of virus after 15
seconds of contact with 1.5%, 0.75%, and 0.5% povidone-iodine. Of note, the methods for this study
were not fully described (e.g., regarding statistical analysis) and it was funded by the company that
produced the povidoneiodine used in the study.
