Step 6 Dry tooth and apply acid etch gel or liquid for manufacturer's recommended time Step 7 Rinse tooth well, remove isolation materials and replace with dry ones.
Research on aerosol production and bacterial contamination of the work environment is either over 20 years old or utilizes ultrasonic scalers or
air polishing devices to create the aerosols.
