Journal Title: Scholars Journal of Dental Sciences - Year 2014, Vol 1, Issue 1
Abstract
Abstract: The need for cross-infection control in dental practice has received increasing attention in recent years because of greater awareness of communicable diseases such as Hepatitis B and acquired immunodeficiency syndrome (AIDS). Dentists, auxillary personnel, and dental laboratory technicians may be exposed to a wide variety of harmful microorganisms daily. Cross-contamination between patients and dental personnel can occur not only through contaminated dentures but also through polishing agents and instrumentation. This article highlights the role of dental professional to prevent the transmission of diseases between patients, dentists and lab personnel. Keywords: Aids, Hepatitis B, Contamination, Microorganisms, Cross-infection, Dentist
