Dental Aerosols and Exposure Mitigation in Clinic Settings (On-Demand)
Session will include two parts. The first part of this session will share some background on dental aerosols, discuss newer methods of detecting and measuring airborne pathogens such as viral droplet nuclei, including coronaviruses, and then highlight some of the means available for inactivating airborne pathogens. The second part of this session will focus on source controls available to dental personnel, and an evaluation of the effectiveness of some source controls in mitigating exposure to aerosols in dental clinic settings.
