Abstract: Abstract Objective SARS-CoV-2 can be carried by aerosols and droplets produced during dental procedures, particularly by the use of high-speed handpieces, air-water syringes, and ultrasonic scalers. High-volume evacuators (HVEs) and extraoral vacuum aspirators (EOVAs) reduce such… read more here.

Effects of preprocedural mouth rinse on microbial load in aerosols produced during the ultrasonic scaling: A randomized controlled trial
Sign Up to like & getrecommendations! Published in 2022 at "Journal of Indian Society of Periodontology"
DOI: 10.4103/jisp.jisp_281_21
Abstract: Background: During ultrasonic scaling, the harbored microorganisms in the oral cavity get aerosolized, which have important impacts on air quality and can cause a serious health threat to the clinician, patients, and the surroundings. Therefore,… read more here.
