Evaluating spatter and aerosol contamination during dental procedures



CD Bentley, NW Burkhart, and JJ Crawford

Department of Diagnostic Sciences, University of North Carolina, Chapel Hill 27599-7450.

A pilot study evaluated the distribution of spatter and aerosols generated by high-speed instrumentation. In the first phase, fluorescent dye was added to the handpiece water supply. In the second, blood agar culture plates were placed in the operatory. Results show that contamination from spatter and aerosol dissemination remains a significant hazard for dental personnel.
