What you need to know In a healthcare setting, aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) include any medical practice or technique that enables aerosols to be transmitted from one person to another. AGPs have been described as increasing the risk of transmitting viruses that cause severe acute ...
Aerosol generating procedures (AGPs) may expose health care workers (HCWs) to pathogens causing acute respiratory infections (ARIs), but the risk of transmission of ARIs from AGPs is not fully known. We sought to determine the clinical evidence for the risk of transmission of ARIs to HCWs carin...
As such, orthodontic practices fall within the range of these procedures, seemingly within a more limited extent, but it is important that they are not neglected. The presence of dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) microbiota has also been considered an additional intriguing factor, especially because ...
