Droplet Sizes Emitted from Demonstration Electric Toothbrushes [PDF]
International Journal of Environmental Research and Public Health, 2021 The COVID-19 pandemic has drawn attention to microbial transmission risk via aerosols in dental practice. Demonstration electric toothbrushes are used intra-orally for education. The aim of this investigation was to measure the size of droplets emitted by the brush head of two demonstration oscillating-rotating electric toothbrushes.
