Resumo
A formação de respingos e aerossóis por meio da utilização de instrumentos de alta rotação e sprays durante procedimentos odontológicos é um fator de risco de
contaminação para o médico dentista, pacientes, recepcionistas e acompanhantes. Métodos e equipamentos que visam a diminuição da exposição às partículas em suspensão no ar já são utilizados pelos profissionais da área, mas devido ao cenário pandêmico atual da doença COVID-19, estudos mais aprofundados sobre o tema são necessários. Neste trabalho, reuniu-se informações referentes a meios de contaminação no ambiente odontológico via formação de respingos e aerossóis,
buscando-se um maior entendimento do problema enfrentado pelos dentistas. Além disso, foi realizado um levantamento de dados na plataforma Scopus com o objetivo de analisar os números de pesquisas científicas que envolvessem temas relacionados às áreas da odontologia e engenharia, bem como o impacto da COVID-19 nos estudos. Com esta análise foi possível entender os impactos causados pela pandemia nos trabalhos nas áreas apontadas. Em virtude dos riscos e perigos enfrentados durante as consultas odontológicas, uma solução mais eficiente para a contenção dos respingos e aerossóis se faz necessária, além da utilização dos equipamentos de proteção individual (EPI) de costume. Uma possível alternativa é o desenvolvimento de sugadores de aerossol que permitam o trabalho do profissional e utilização dos equipamentos de sucção de maneira mais confortável e eficiente. Assim, a impressão 3D em conjunto com a simulação fluidodinâmica computacional destaca-se como um caminho favorável para a confecção dos aspiradores, visto o crescente aumento em sua acessibilidade e praticidade na criação de protótipos, evidenciando a importância da engenharia no combate a doenças infectocontagiosas. Das pesquisas disponibilizadas na plataforma Scopus no ano de 2020, 49254 referiam-se ao SARSCoV-2. Entretanto, deste total, apenas 196 pesquisas envolviam o termo dentistry e 41 trabalhos com relação ao termo 3D Printing, abrindo oportunidades para estudos relacionados à enfermidade na área e de trabalhos interdisciplinares.
The formation of splatters and aerosols due to the use of highspeed instruments, i.e. drills and sprays during dental procedures is a risk factor of contamination for the dentist, patients, receptionists and companions. Methods and equipment that aimed at risk avoidance caused by particles suspended in the air have already been used by professionals in the field, but due to the current COVID19 pandemic scenario, further studies on the subject are needed. In this work, data about contamination means in the dental environment owing to formation of splatters and aerosols were assembled, seeking a better understanding of the problem faced by dentists. In addition, was performed a data survey at Scopus source seeking for analyze the number of scientific researches involving themes that correlate the dentistry and engineering area as well as the impact of COVID19 in the studies. With that analysis it’s possible to understand the impact caused by the pandemic in the appointed works. In view of the risks and dangers faced during dental consultations, a more efficient solution is needed to contain splatters and aerosols, in addition to the use of the usual personal protective equipment (PPE). A possible alternative is the development of an aerosol suction device that allow the professional to work and use it more comfortably and efficiently. Thus, 3D printing along the computational fluid dynamic stands out as a favorable path for making aerosol suctions, given the growing increase in its accessibility and practicality in creating prototypes, evidencing the importance of engineering at controlling infectious contagious disease. From the research available at Scopus source at 2020, 49254 references to SARSCoV2. Therefore, among that total, only 196 searches involved dentistry as term and about 3D printing, only 41, opening opportunities for studies related to that disease in multidisciplinary areas. Keywords: COVID19.
