Many studies are small and report only one repetition of a single procedure, and some have only examined contamination of the operator and assistant; a number of studies which have measured spatial distribution of aerosol and splatter have only done so to a limited distance from the source. We present initial data on three dental procedures (high-speed air-turbine, ultrasonic scaler, and 3-in-1 spray use) and examine the effect of dental suction and the presence of an assistant on aerosol and splatter distribution.	./cache/cord-272602-rywg9mek.txt	./txt/cord-272602-rywg9mek.txt
