The air volume was sampled by a wet cyclone collector for 10\u2009min during 10 sessions of the following procedures: air\u2010polishing, ultrasonic instrumentation, manual instrumentation, rubber cup polishing, cavity preparation with a 1:5 red contra\u2010angle, cavity preparation with turbine and Low Volume Evacuator (LVE), and cavity preparation with turbine and High Volume Evacuator (HVE).
