ONE FOR ALL- INTRODUCING AN ALTERNATIVE EASILY-ASSEMBLED ADJUSTABLE LOOP SUCTION DEVICE FOR DENTAL PROCEDURES
Journal Title: Journal of Evolution of Medical and Dental Sciences - Year 2018, Vol 7, Issue 30
Abstract
BACKGROUND During dental sedation, control of the cough reflex is crucial for a safe and smooth procedure. Accumulated saliva is one of the predisposing factors for coughing. Therefore, extensive suction is very important. Using of standard saliva ejector may not be enough. We introduce hand-made Adjustable Loop Suction (ALS) as an alternative solution. The features of this device are easy assembly, single use, effective suction, excellent moldability, and customised smaller sizes for young children. The suction orifice near the posterior oral cavity effectively removes the fluid and the bent suction loop assists stability in the patient’s mouth
