Produktbeschreibung
The increased risk of contracting and spreading major infections like tuberculosis, pneumonia, hepatitis B, and even AIDS through dental treatment procedures is a cause to contemplate. Adequate attention to prevention of cross-contamination in dental operatory has largely been ignored by the orthodontist. This has occurred because orthodontic procedures are usually non tissue-invasive and the disease most identified in dentistry, Hepatitis B, is thought to be transmitted only by contact with blood of an infected carrier. Orthodontists have been reported to have the second highest incidence of Hepatitis B among dental professionals. Saliva is about half as infectious as blood, and most likely modes of transmission in dental office are through puncture wounds, skin abrasions etc. Orthodontists are becoming increasingly aware of the threat of communicable diseases that can be transmitted between patients and staff.Hepatitis B,herpes and AIDS are certainly the most serious diseases of many that can be contracted in orthodontic office.Hence, considering each patient to be a risk group, fool proof method of attire and barrier techniques of sterilization should be employed.
