牙科专业人员暴露于病人血液与唾液里的多种多样的微生物之中,这些微生物可引起诸如乙肝和艾滋病之类的传染性疾病。对牙科诊室和实验室实行有效的感染控制程序将防止本室的工作人员和病人间发生交叉感染。近年来美国牙科协会提倡在牙科实践中实行感染控制程序,颇有成效。目前已经普及推广,并采用这种方法。 Dental professionals are exposed to a wide variety of microorganisms in the patient’s blood and saliva that can cause infectious diseases such as hepatitis B and AIDS. Effective infection control procedures in dental offices and laboratories will prevent cross-contamination between staff and patients in this room. In recent years, the American Dental Association has promoted the implementation of infection control procedures in dental practice and has been effective. It has been popularized and adopted this method.
