简要总结
The purpose of this study is to collect, measure, and assess the environmental spatter produced during dental appointments under different isolation methods used in pediatric dentistry, to compare the effectiveness of aerosol reduction between these methods, to identify the most effective way to manage aerosol during dental prophylaxis for pediatric patients and to provide clinical evidence to facilitate practice guidelines in dentistry related to COVID-19.

结局指标
主要结局
To collect, measure, and assess the environmental spatter produced during dental appointments under different isolation methods used in pediatric dentistry
时间窗: Through case completion, an average a year
The image of the spots of fluorescence from the spatter collected will be captured using a digital camera (Nikon D3100, Nikon, Tokyo, Japan) with an amber-colored lens cover. The image will be processed by a digital imaging software, ImageJ (National Institutes of Health, the Laboratory for Optical and Computational Instrumentation, University of Wisconsin) to get the number of the spots on each mask and film. The number of fluorescent spots is recorded to determine the amount of spatter produced.
