When treatment is carried out using aerosol generating procedures, dentists are often put in a position where they are in close proximity of patients' mouths and upper respiratory tract. As the virus transmission occurs mostly by aerosols and droplets generated during such episodes, both the dental team and the patients are at a high risk of contracting COVID-19.
