| Description | Aerosol and splatter produced during dental treatment (ultrasonic scaling and professional mechanical tooth cleaning) are potential sources of infection. Contamination patterns on the operators’ masks, goggles, chests and gowned right arms, and on the patients’ goggles, before and after dental treatment were investigated by using ATP bioluminescence analysis. Contamination on every surface tested increased significantly after dental treatment. Maximum contamination was found on patients’ goggles. Aerosol and splatter produced during dental treatment thus have the potential to spread infection to operators and patients. ATP bioluminescence is a useful tool for monitoring surface contamination.
