The efficiency of nitrous oxide scavenging devices in dental offices.
Five scavenging systems were installed in 10 dental office and the levels of nitrous oxide were closely monitored for each. While the readings were higher than the previous non-clinical study, all appeared to be reasonably efficient. The various factors which caused increases in background levels were also recorded in the investigation.
