Diseño en concepto de un sistema de succión oral para reducir la dispersión de virus y bacterias contaminantes en procesos odontológicos.

Abstract

The uncertainty generated by the Covid-19 virus since its appearance has affected the labor field of Socio-Economic sectors, as in the case of dentists, who are in a work environment with a high risk of contagion due to the fact that their Labor practices require it, being in direct contact with the mouth of patients and saliva being the main means of contamination of the virus, it is necessary to reduce the dispersion of particles that are generated in their activities, in such a way that methods are used research and development such as Design Thinking to solve user needs from the tiniest aspects to highly complex requirements. Supported by the simulation of fluids by computational methods CFD (Computer Fluid Dynamics) to evaluate the functionality of the proposals that are generated, a geometry is reached that allows reducing the largest amount of particles expelled into the environment in order to reduce nosocomial environments that are created in dental cubicles. Such that after several geometric iterations a geometry is reached whose computational numerical values favor to improve the reduction of said particles, to later arrive at a functional physical prototype that is elaborated by means of fused deposition technology commonly called 3D Printing.
