Abstract
The neoteric coronavirus outburst has jeopardised the health care system globally. As a result, practising dentistryhas severe constraints due to production of aerosols and splatter in a large quantity. Air management gainsforemost importance in reducing the transmission of SARS-COV-2 in a dental operatory. A variety of air filtrationtechniques have been put forth to optimize the air quality by removing the pollutants and pathogens. Amidstthe blowing wave of information accessible online and on social media, it is puzzling to identify dependableresearch data and guidance to equip the operatory to minimize the risk of disease by aerosol, droplet and contacttransmission. This paper presents comprehensive review on the different air purification technologies, theirmechanism and utility in reducing viral load with the aim of providing information in regards to setting up adental operatory with reduced risk of disease transmission in the post COVID-19 era.KEYWORDSCOVID 19; Air management; HEPA filter; Air purifiers.
