- AB The authors found that 19 percutaneous exposures among dental workers
- occurred both during and after use of instruments such as syringe
- needles and scalers. Specific information about the device and action
- associated with an exposure is important for prevention efforts,
- including safer instruments and work practices. Most of these exposures
- probably involved smaller, rather than larger, amounts of blood infected
- with the human immunodeficiency virus. To our knowledge, none of the
- exposures resulted in HIV transmission to an enrolled dental worker.
