These were added independently to the instrument irrigation system and aerosolised during dental procedures. Aerosol mitigation condition groups were ACS, HVE, ACS plus HVE, and No mitigation (control). Aerosols were collected via settlement onto sterile filter papers and agar plates.

Fluorescent particles were analysed using ImageJ software, and bacteriophage was quantified using plaque assays and reverse transcription quantitative polymerase chain reaction (RT-qPCR).</div></div><div><h3>Results</h3><div>HVE combined with ACS produced the highest reduction in viral spread among the three aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs). This reduction was evident both in the number of fluorescent particles and that of viruses. The effect was more pronounced at the farthest sites.
