Keywords:

Dental clinics, Bioaerosol contamination, Aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs), Infection control, Surface contamination, Nosocomial infections

Abstract

Dental procedures, particularly those involving aerosol generating techniques (AGPs), pose significant challenges in infection control due to the potential spread of bioaerosols. These aerosols, consisting of particles of varying sizes, can contain pathogenic microorganisms and settle on surfaces within the dental clinic, posing a risk of cross-contamination and infection.
