Abstract
Occupational injuries which expose health-care professionals to blood-borne pathogens continue to be an important public health concern. Especially, dentists are at increased risk of exposure to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis C, and HIV. Dentists should remember and apply many precautions to prevent the broad spectrum of sharps and splash injuries that could occur during the delivery of dental care. This article updates and consolidates recommendations for the management of dental health-care personnel who have occupational exposure to blood and other body fluids.
