This comprehensive text addresses the issues of controlling the spread of disease agents and maintaining safety in the dental office. It emphasizes the basic concepts of infectious disease and the actual practice of infection control, and describes the specific procedures used and the supplies and equipment needed for disease prevention and office safety. Written at a level appropriate for the entire dental team, the book reflects the new legislation passed for the protection of dental patients and dental workers, and shows how these mandates have changed the way dental care is provided.
