Spatiotemporal distribution and control measure evaluation of droplets and aerosol clouds in dental procedures
Published online by Cambridge University Press: 31 January 2022
Abstract
We evaluated the distributions of dental splatters and the corresponding control measure effects with high-speed videography and laser diffraction. Most of the dental splatters were small droplets (<50 μm). High-volume evacuation combined with a suction air purifier could clear away most of the droplets and aerosols.
