How are pathogenic microorganisms like HBV transmitted in the dental
setting? - ACCURATE ANSWERS✔✔ 1) direct contact with blood, oral
fluids, or other patient materials; 2) indirect contact with contaminated
objects (e.g., instruments, equipment, or environmental surfaces); 3)
contact of conjunctival, nasal, or oral mucosa with
droplets (e.g., spatter) containing microorganisms generated from an
infected person and propelled a short distance (e.g., by coughing,
, sneezing, or talking); and 4) inhalation of air- borne microorganisms that
can remain suspended in the air for long periods
What is the difference between universal precautions and standard
precautions in the clinical dental practice? - ACCURATE
ANSWERS✔✔ Standard precautions apply to contact with 1) blood; 2)
all body fluids, secretions, and excretions (except sweat), regard- less of
whether they contain blood; 3) nonintact skin; and 4) mucous
membranes. Saliva has always been considered a potentially infectious
material in dental infection control; thus, no operational difference exists
in clinical dental practice between universal precautions and standard
precautions.
