AB Because of the continued threat of human immunodeficiency virus and
hepatitis B infection, as well as the possibility of cross-infection
from microbes, such as the herpesviruses and staphylococci, infection
control remains a critical issue in dentistry. A traditional response to
the infection-control issue is the use of barrier protection by the
practitioner and staff. Little attention has been paid to reducing the
number of potential pathogens in the oral cavity before dental
procedures as a means of minimizing the potential spread of contagion
between patients and treatment providers. A study to determine the
effectiveness and duration of a single rinse with 0.12% chlorhexidine
gluconate oral antiseptic in reducing the number of microorganisms in
the oral cavity is presented.
