ABSTRACT

Aerosole in the private dental office

Danger lurks inside ! At first ridiculed, then hushed up, talked up and finally feared. Hand washing, keeping your distance, disinfecting. While discussing the sense and nonsense of wearing masks, the images from Bologna burned into our heads and rudely woke Europe up from its slumber. Until recently, the same picture can be seen again and again at the hotspots. People wrapped in full-body protective suits, as if from another planet, are trying to control SARS COVID 19. Again and again, the same recipes are preached, often against better knowledge, but politics demands spectacle and not science: entire cities are disinfected, borders are closed, curfews are imposed and scapegoats are denounced. The virus cannot be stopped with this.
danger lurks inside! At home, in the office, in the restaurants, in the nursing homes and hospitals. And also in the dental practices. Aerosols, invisibly small, not noticeable, odorless. And yet they are the main vector of transmission of SARS COVID 19
