Abstract
:
epatitis B infection is the most critical infectious occupational hazard for the dental professional'<'. Dental personnel have a 5-10 fold greater chance of acquiring infection than the .population at large. Hepatitis B infection may be a severe or even fatal acute resulting in possiple work loss, infection in one's family, development of a carrier state or all three. A carrier state can result in chronic liver disease such as cirrhosis or primary hepatocellular carcinoma. Dental personnel with acute or chronic hepatitis B may, although rarely, transmit the infection to their patients(2). AND PRACTICES OF CONCERNING THE Transmission in dental practice occur through percutaneous contact with infectious body fluids such as blood and saliva. The virus is high in infectivity as little as 1- 8 ml of blood is capable of transmitting hepatitis B. Hepatitis B which is a hardy virus has been shown to remain viable after storage at room temperature for 6 months, for 4 hours . at 60°C and 15 years at -20°C. Moreover, the virus' is capable of surviving up to 7 days or longer on surfaces at room temprature. This capacity is of particular significant in dental practices, where a wide range of instruments and materials IS employed(3,4) .
