When using the air water syringe during dental treatment, which of the following personal protective equipment are recommended by the CDC?

  1. Gloves and gown

  2. Mask and gloves

  3. Gloves, mask, gown, and eye protection

  4. Mask and eye protection

The correct answer is: Gloves, mask, gown, and eye protection

During dental treatment, it is recommended by the CDC to wear gloves, masks, gowns, and eye protection when using the air water syringe. This is because the air water syringe creates a high probability of spatter and aerosols, which can contain harmful pathogens. Wearing gloves and a gown alone may not provide enough protection for the practitioner's eyes and mouth. Similarly, wearing only a mask and eye protection may not provide enough coverage for the hands and body. Thus, the most comprehensive protection is achieved by using all four pieces of personal protective equipment recommended by the CDC.
