Purpose: The aim of this article is to describe the procedure for preparing a disposable dust chamber for use in home-visit prosthodontic treatments, that is economical and can be made from materials that are easy to procure.Methods: After cutting off both ends, the main body of a PET bottle (capacity:1.5 to 2.7 liters) is trimmed to a length of about 15-20 cm. A disposable glove is slipped over each cut end of the PET bottle. The finger and palm portion of the gloves at both ends are then cut off.Results: Users can work on prostheses within this dust chamber, without dispersing the flying particulate waste produced by the grinding into the ambient air. After use, the chamber can be washed with tap water, and be reused after disinfection. This device also effectively reduces the noise produced by the cutting and grinding.Conclusion: A low-cost handy disposable dust chamber that can be made easily is presented.
