Abstract: A removable splash guard (100) for a dental three-way syringe (112) comprises a transparent shield body (102) having a central mounting region (104), a central aperture (106), and a peripheral edge (110). A resilient clamping member (108), preferably formed from heat-resistant silicone, is disposed at the central mounting region (104) and removably grips a nozzle (116). In a mounted condition, the nozzle (116) extends through the central aperture (106), while the shield body (102) extends around the nozzle (116) between a syringe body (114) and a discharge end (118). The discharge end (118) remains unobstructed for delivery of air, water, or mist. The shield body (102) mechanically intercepts and deflects droplets and aerosol travelling toward an operator. In an embodiment, the shield body (102) is conical or frustoconical, has an included angle of at least 135 degrees, and is autoclavable at about 121-134 degrees Celsius for sterilization and reuse.
