Progress in infection control in dental education

Abstract
While guidelines on proper infection control practices for dentistry have been available for over a decade, evidence suggests that recommended infection control practices are not universally employed in dentistry or dental education. A self-administered written survey was mailed to all U.S. dental schools in spring 1986 to assess the status of infection control curricula, standards, and practices. From the 47 schools that responded it is evident that, while progress is occurring in dental education relative to improved infection control standards and practice, much remains to be accomplished.
