Removal and dispersal of biofluid films by powered medical devices: Modeling infectious agent spreading in dentistry
Summary: Medical procedures can disperse infectious agents and spread disease. Particularly, dental procedures may pose a high risk of disease transmission as they use high-powered instruments operating within the oral cavity that may contain infectious microbiota or viruses. Here we assess the abil...
