Introduction: During dental treatment procedures ultrasonic scalers generate droplets containing microorganisms such as bacteria and viruses. Hence, it is necessary to study the dynamic properties of generated droplets in order to investigate the risks associated with the spread of infection. The aim of this study was to visualise the flow state of droplets and to evaluate the impact of droplets generated during the use of an ultrasonic scaler during an oral surgical procedure.

They are encoded by the same gene locus, but have distinct subcellular locations. DREAM was first found to interact with DRE (downstream regulatory element) site in the vicinity of the promoter of prodynorphin gene to suppress gene transcription.
