Making sure the air is clean and clear of contaminants is nothing new for dental labs. Sure a respiratory illness such as COVID-19 adds another reason to take precaution, but technicians already spend good stretches of time creating fine dust and particulates while working directly over plaster and stone, ceramics and resins, and all manner of other materials.
