Abstract

The current global pandemic of severe acute respiratory syndrome coronavirus 2 (SARS-CoV-2) has led to nosocomial infections in many medical settings [1]. Consequently, there is a growing interest in protection against droplets and aerosols generated by medical procedures. In particular, dental treatment is a source of droplets and aerosols in the oral cavity that may contain SARS-CoV-2, and infection control measures during these procedures require special attention. Because SARS-CoV-2 RNA has been detected in environments where patients infected with coronavirus 2019 (COVID-19) have received dental treatment, analysis of aerosol dynamics in dental treatment facilities is crucial to provide safe dental care [2].
