Objectives
The understanding of the importance of effective moisture control in the clinical practice of dentistry Th understanding of th diff The d t di f the different methods of t th d f moisture control in the clinical setting. To demonstrate the safe and effective use of various moisture control methods in the clinic

A. Sources of moisture in the clinical environment: i. Saliva: - from salivary glands. (parotid, submandibular, sublingual) ( tid b dib l bli l) ii Blood: ii. - inflamed gingival tissues. - iatrogenic damage. g g iii. Gingival crevicular fluid: -inflamed gingival tissues.

iv. Water/dental materials: - from rotary instruments. - water from triplex syringe syringe. -materials we may use during treatment [eg. etchants, [eg etchants irrigant solutions] solutions].

I f ti control; to minimise aerosol production. Infection t l t i i i l d ti Increased accessibility to operative site, allowing greater convenience and efficiency of operative. Procedures (e.g. patients need to swallow) causes fewer problems. p y g g Improves visibility of the working field and diagnosis. Less fogging of the dental mirror. Prevents contamination of cavity preparation/ root canal. Haemorrhage from gingiva does not enter operative site. site

iii. Task/technique being performed: Dental materials are moisture sensitive, success of adhesion and physical properties relies on a dry field.

i. i Aspiration:
High volume aspiration. High volume vacuum (large diameter tip, autoclavable or disposable). Operated from vacuum unit. Application: Suitable to remove -large particulate matter l i l -water from high speed drills -air water sprays i t

Saliva ejector.
Low volume small diameter tip volume, tip, usually disposable. Flexible plastic tubing with protective flange. fl Routine saliva control. Can be placed under rubber dam. p Best used to remove small amounts of moisture. Can be used in conjunction with other methods of moisture control.
slide 12
Cont. Cont
Advantages: Cheap, easy to use (can be held by patient). Some have flanges attached which can retract tongue and floor of mouth. Disadvantages: Can be uncomfortable for patient if used inappropriately. inappropriately May cause soft tissue damage; care must be taken not to suck in patients tissues into the tip. Active tongues can make placement difficult. Low volume aspirators dont remove solids well. slide 13

ii. Air-Water-Syringe: ii Ai W t S i
Application: Air blast useful to dry tooth or soft tissues during examination or used during operative procedures Advantages: Ad t
Easy to use. Needs greater caution with use as can dehydrate dentine and cause pain and discomfort to patient g ; j Not effective if large volumes of moisture; can just transfer moisture from one tooth to the next.
slide 15
Disadvantages:
slide 17
Cont. C t
Can be used with other methods of moisture control eg saliva ejector When removing cotton rolls or cellulose wafers make sure they are moist to prevent inadvertent removal of the epithelium

Cont. C t
Advantages: Effective to control small amounts of moisture Retract soft tissues at same time Disadvantages: Only provides short term moisture control Ineffective if high volumes of fluid Active tongues and shallow sulci may make placement and retention difficult

Advantages:
Complete, long term moisture control Maximises access and visibility Protection for both patient and dentist Infection control measure Prevents accidental swallowing or aspiration of foreign bodies R t t soft tissues Retracts ft ti Increases operator efficiency Improved properties of dental materials

Disadvantages:
Claimed that it takes time to apply Communication with patient can be difficult Incorrect use may damage p y g porcelain crowns/crown margins/ traumatise gingival tissues Patient may feel incomfort or phobic with it on Insecure clamps can be swallowed or aspirated

v. v Pharmacological methods
Use of local anaesthetic with a vasoconstrictor eg Adrenaline: causes transient vasoconstriction of blood vessels in site of injection May control injection. haemorrhage in some situations

Advantages:
Used as an adj nct to control gingi al adjunct gingival bleeding when use of retraction cord is not sufficient
Disadvantages:

Cont. C t
Use of chemicals inhibit salivary secretion eg, atropine, methantheline bromide Chemical method of. Is administered orally 1-2 hours prior to the procedure and causes temporary dry mouth (Acts on the sympathetic nervous system). Very rarely y p y ) y y used as a moisture control method

Advantages:
Used to control patient with excessive salivary flow when other methods ineffective
Disadvantages:
Side effects; tachycardia, dilation of pupils, urinary retention, sweat gland inhibition Long lasting effects, after treatment is completed

Advantages:
Effective in control gingival haemorrhage or gingival crevicular fluid and at same time retracting gingival tissues Can be used as adjunct to other methods
Di d Disadvantages: t
Only effective if small amounts of gingival crevicular fluid May need local anaesthetic prior to placement placement. Can be difficult to insert Can cause gingival damage if not inserted correctly

Advantages:
Can be used to control small amount of bleeding. bleeding
Disadvantages:
Potentially can cause tissue damage if not used properly. Cant use if patient has a pacemaker. Unpleasant odour. Cant use with metal instruments.
slide 34
Disadvantages:
Caustic; need to use with care as can cause soft tissue damage if accidentally dropped on tissues.
