Developed under recommendations released by the Canadian Dental Hygienists Association and reinforced by other Canadian associations, ipana Pre-Op Oral Rinse is designed to help reduce the number of microorganisms a patient may release through airborne aerosols and splatter.
This preprocedural rinse is critical for compliance and helps minimize contamination of operatory surfaces, the dental health care professional and the patient.
Minimizing aerosols has always been part of a dental office's infection prevention and control program. This includes pre-procedural rinsing (PPR), the use of a dental dam and high volume (HV) suction. The notion of a PPR is not new to dentistry and prior to COVID-19 dental professionals could make their own product selection.
The PPR product must be hydrogen peroxide at a 1% concentration. The COVID-19 virus has a lipid layer as its outer shell and is highly vulnerable to the oxidizing impact of hydrogen peroxide.
