Abstract:
Hepatitis B virus has long been regarded as an occupational hazard
in dentistry. However, as the availability of effective vaccination
has reduced the risk of HBV infection, so dental staff have become
aware of the potential risk of transmission of hepatitis C virus
during dental treatment. This article outlines current relevant
data suggesting that nosocomial transmission of HCV in dentistry is
unlikely.
