IAOMT safety protocol

International Association of Metal Toxicology (IAOMT) recommendation the most important measures including:

Protective Barriers

For virtually all-operative procedures involving removing metals from the mouth, a specially designed Clean -Up dam-suction tip is used over the treated tooth, A high-volume suction is placed on the “tooth-side” of the barrier and a low-volume suction is placed in the mouth, “air-way” side of the barrier.  After metal removal, we provide a rinse with “binders”  to further evacuate potential vapours and particles. Further barriers include eye protection and  Silver impregnated face cloth. The dental surgery space is well ventilated and the air is continually scrubbed with the use of an mercury air purification system. The dental Team uses a mercury filtering face mask during the procedure.
