Dental aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) have been associated with risk for transmitting infectious agents. However, existing infection control monitoring studies potentially underestimate the extent of contamination, due to methodological inadequacies. These studies employed settle plate methodology which ...
Aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) in dentistry have been defined as: “dental procedures using high speed devices such as ultrasonic scalers and drills”, which provides limited information about droplet and aerosols associated with specific periodontal procedures. Ultrasonic and sonic scaling refers to...
As the major mode of transmission of SARS-CoV-2 appears to be airborne aerosols and droplets, there has been an intense focus on such aerosol generating procedures (AGP). As there has been no systematic reviews on the efficacy of bio-aerosol reducing measure in dentistry, the objective of ...
It maps aerosol generating procedures (AGPs), where possible, to alternative non-AGPs or low AGPs. This risk reduction approach overcomes the less favourable outcomes associated with temporary solutions or extraction-only approaches. Even if this risk reduction approach for aerosol generation becomes ...
Aerosol should be differentiated from solid particles staying airborne for some time in the air and the splatter of relatively large sized droplets of water generated by splashes in a dental setting, such as those produced by using the water syringe. Aerosol-producing dental procedures, along with...

Data came from different dental settings locations. Several factors were identified that have an effect on the amount and spread of the aerosol and spatter. Conclusion:Although it is clear that the microbial contamination occurred mainly during aerosol-generating dental procedures, our understanding of ...

Objective The aim of this study was to test the plausibility of using the Phi X174 bacteriophage as a tracer of viral aerosols spreading in a dental aerosol-generating procedure (AGP) model. Methods Phi X174 bacteriophage (similar to 10(8) plaque-forming units (PFU)/mL) was added into ...
The service disruption, ongoing reduction in service capacity associated with social distancing, and enhanced personal protective equipment (PPE) [3] together with requiring a “fallow time” post-procedure (a clearing period after any “aerosol-generating procedures” where the dental clinic is kept ...
