AIRBORNE INFECTIONS IN DENTAL OFFICES OF INDIA: A COMPREHENSIVE CLINICAL ANALYSIS

Abstract

Airborne infections are a major concern in dental offices, where aerosols and droplets generated during various dental procedures can facilitate the transmission of infectious agents. This comprehensive clinical analysis examines the prevalence, types, and risk factors associated with airborne infections in dental offices across India. A thorough assessment of infection control measures, air quality, and healthcare practices was conducted in a representative sample of dental offices. The study identifies common airborne pathogens and highlights the importance of implementing robust infection control protocols to mitigate the risk of transmission. The findings contribute to enhancing patient safety, improving infection control guidelines, and promoting a healthier dental healthcare environment in India.
