Subject: Research Proposal for ‘Reduction of aerosol bacteria in clinical dental hygiene practice’
Hello Erika,
I have posted a report proposal on my team blog, ‘Team Typephoon’, for your review. I am interested in conducting research on my chosen topic, which involves giving a pre-procedural antiseptic rinse to every patient prior to dental hygiene. Having patients rinse with Listerine has been shown to be very effective at reducing bacteria, this could help keep dental hygienists healthy by reducing their potential contamination with cold and flu spores. During my research I am interested in answering the following:
- Determine if dental hygienists are giving a pre-procedural rinse at every appointment
- What are the determinants preventing dental hygienists from giving a pre-rinse?
- Does the dental hygiene team understand the reasoning and benefits behind a pre-rinse?
- What could help the dental hygiene team follow-through with the pre-rinse protocol?
I look forward to your response and approval, please don’t hesitate to contact me for any clarification on the topic or methods that I intend to use for this report. Attached is a word doc of my proposal.
