Infection Control In Dentistry

Dental healthcare personnel (DHCP) work in close proximity to their patients. DHCP perform procedures which may induce their patients to cough. Their field of surgery is awash in saliva, which is usually contaminated with blood. Many dental procedures produce aerosolized droplet nuclei, which may linger in the atmosphere for hours. Obviously, the risk of disease transmission is an inherent part of dental practice. The good news is that dental care can be provided with a high degree of safety for the patient and therapist, provided that the tenets of modern infection control are adhered to. This book gives you the comprehensive and systematic approach towards methods of infection control in dentistry. It has a wide range of easy made tabular columns for quick understanding and comparison along with illustrations where ever necessary.
