1/ Localized extraction of aerosols in dentistry
This is the solution that makes the most sense by far to me, combined w/ ventilation and portable HEPA air cleaners.
This type of thing. I don't endorse this particular one (haven't seen enough details)

2/ Localized extraction is MUCH MUCH better than foggers of bleach, as we discussed here:

And it can be done provisionally quickly w/ limited cost (see YouTube link in that post)

3/ The most important principle of indoor air quality is "source control." I.e. remove the contaminant where it is produced.
“If there is a pile of manure in a space, do not try to remove the odor by ventilation. Remove the pile of manure.”
Max von Pettenkofer, 1858

4/ Localized extraction is source control
May not be perfect, which is why room ventilation + portable HEPA cleaners help to further remove aerosols that escape source control. All 3 work DURING procedure.
Foggers dangerous, only AFTER procedure, not DURING it when risk highest
