Aerosol particles <5 μm present an increased risk of respiratory infection transmission. The Working Group
agreed to categorise dental procedures into three groups according to the characteristics of the
instruments used and assumptions regarding aerosol generation.
Procedural mitigations have been proposed as patient-level interventions to reduce the potential risk of
SARS-CoV-2 transmission from dental aerosols.
Several procedural mitigations have been reviewed by the
Working Group and the Agreed Position Statements for each are listed below.
