HEPATITIS B AND C IN DENTISTRY
Journal Title: Journal of IMAB - Annual Proceeding (Scientific Papers) - Year 2008, Vol 14, Issue 2
Abstract
Viral hepatitis is a major public health problem, occurring endemically in all areas of the world. The prevalence of the disease is influenced by numerous factors which may be able to modulate its onset. The presence of HCV-RNA in saliva provides a biological basis for saliva as a possible source of HCV infection, although it does not necessarily imply transmission. Lock and coworkers (2006) demonstrates a contamination with HCV-RNA of a considerable portion of toothbrushes used by hepatitis C patients. Dentists were in a high risk of contracting this disease due to the procedures and instruments of dental treatment.
