- Abstract
During dental procedures, professionals should be concerned with the spread and formation of aerosols, as this is a potential transmission route. The objective was to demonstrate the risk of contamination by aerosols in the oral cavity during care in dental offices and to compare five elective procedures. Circles A, B and C were established with radii of 50, 100 and 150 cm, respectively, from the central point of the headrest on the dental chair. A factorial design and Tukey's test were established to compare the averages of the contamination points and for the non-countable points of contamination, Principal Component Analysis (PCA) was applied. The type of procedure and the interaction between the location and the type of procedure were not statistically significant, but there was a significant higher incidence in circle A (50 cm radius). Applying PCA, it was possible to relate the contamination of the patient's thorax and the tip of the sucker with the Ultrasound and Upper Central Incisor procedures, as well as the relationship of contamination of the dentist's coat and the tip of the high-speed pen with the procedures of Upper First Molar, Lower First Molar and Lower Central Incisor. Precautions to minimize contamination and the spread of aerosols must be used in dental care to reduce the risk of contamination of the professional team, patients and the environment
