SARS-CoV-2. Therefore, the purpose of this pilot study is to examine the potential splatter that can be generated from AGPs and coughing in a dental anesthesia practice. MATERIALS AND METHODS In this study, Glo Germ (Glo Germ, Moab, Utah) was used to simulate the splatter produced by dental AGPs and that produced by a simulated cough. Glo Germ is a melamine resin that is 1–5 μm in size and appears blue under UV light. 9 In comparison, the SARS-CoV-2 virus is 0.12–0.16 μm in size but is carried on bioaerosols within 1–5 μm and droplets >5

true during lighter levels of sedation or following stimulation from oral secretions, bleeding, and manipulation of the head. Deeper levels of sedation and anesthesia, such as those achieved during anesthesia induction, as well as the use of opioids help to control coughing. A recent review of the risks of extubation and coughing in the COVID-19 era by Sibert et al 1 may be of interest to many dental anesthesia providers.
