Abstract
Dental clinic is an area with high infectious risk for dentists, dental workers and patients. This study is to evaluate the knowledge and attitudes of dentists towards infection control. For the dentists, 56 general practitioners and 60 residents, the affirmative responses were obtained from a survey, with a questionnaire composed by 52 values with regard to(1) the basic knowledge and risk perception of the dentists to infection, (2) percent perception to infected patients and sterilization to the dental materials and instruments. The significance of each value between general practitioners and residents was analyzed using the Pearson chisquare test. The analysis revealed that the practitioners have less the appropriate knowledge and attitudes in managing infection in their clinical settings than the residents (p<0.05). Surprisingly, almost all the dentists have been working, without perceiving whether their patients were infectious or not. Collectively, this study suggests that the periodic education for dental infection control should the pre- or post-prophylactic protocols used in dental clinics have to be established.
