Objective: To analyze microbial contamination during dental care due to the production of aerosols and splashes. Methodology: Documentary, bibliographic type. The search was carried out through the Pubmed and SCOPUS databases. Considering the guidelines of the PRISMA declaration, a total of 221 articles were obtained. Subsequently, the exclusion and inclusion criteria were applied, obtaining a total of 25 articles. Results: The microbial load present in the dental environment has been analyzed quantitatively through Colony Forming Units (CFU) in different spaces and surfaces of dental clinics. In conclusion: Microbiological contamination associated with the generation of aerosols is a problem that is experienced in the daily dental practice, mainly related to procedures associated with equipment such as high-speed handpieces, ultrasonic equipment and triple syringe.
