Abstract

Two main types of particulate matter may be produced during routine dental procedures, namely aerosols and splatter. The principal difference between them is the size of the particles from which they are made. The behaviour of such particles in air and their possible health risks are complex. However, the use of high volume evacuation, pre-procedural mouthrinses and rubber dam are the most effective methods of reducing the unwanted risk of exposure.
