Nosocomial infection control in dental practice from view point of dental public health administration

Abstract

Nosocomial infection control is one of important problems to address in medical institutions. One of characteristics in dental practice is easy to be polluted around dental units and on the surface of equipment by infectious materials because of spreading considerable saliva or blood droplet associated with use of dental rotary cutting instrument. In Ministry of Health, Labour and Welfare, we disseminate by means of formulation the guideline for nosocomial infection control in dental practice and the infection control training sessions for dental professional.

I would like to mention nosocomial infection control in dental practice from view point of dental public health administration.
