Antimicrobial coolant A (chlorhexidine) vs povidone‐iodine

Reduction in level of contamination in aerosols (CFU): chlorhexidine vs povidone iodine coolant during ultrasonic scaling · People undergoing aerosol-generating procedures (AGPs) in a dental setting

It is very uncertain whether antimicrobial coolant A (chlorhexidine) changes reduction in level of contamination in aerosols (CFU): chlorhexidine… compared with antimicrobial coolant B (povidone iodine) (very low certainty).
