Sažetak

Dental team and dentist’s office should not represent an infective risk
of transfer of bacterial and viral infections for patients. As the number of such infections is on an increse, we have to take additional measures of precaution besides the standard hygienic ones. We will protect ourselves by continuous use of personal protective means (gloves, masks, glasses, caps) and proper hand hygiene, and our patients by use of disposable facilities (plastic glasses, suction-pumps for saliva, injection needles, syringes, papper napkins). After each patient, all accessories and surfaces that were in contact with him should be disinfected, and the same applies to all matrices and prosthetic devices after oral testing. Efficient disinfectants should be used following the manufacturer’s instructions thereby. Our offices should also be equipped with thermodisinfectors, ultrasonic cleaners and rapid autoclaves for sensitive inftruments.
