Prevention of airborne infection in operating rooms and dental offices: modern approaches and technologies

Abstract

In modern medical practice, the issues of asepsis and disinfection in operating and dental rooms are becoming particularly relevant in the context of preventing airborne infections. Given the rise in antibiotic-resistant microorganisms and the increasing number of invasive medical procedures, the need for effective methods of asepsis and disinfection is becoming more evident. The review covers contemporary approaches and technologies aimed at minimizing the risk of infectious complications. Methods of ventilation and air filtration, the application of ultraviolet sterilization, and laminar airflows are discussed. Special attention is given to their effectiveness in various medical fields, including dentistry and surgery. The aim of the review is to systematize existing knowledge and formulate recommendations for further scientific study and clinical practice.
