The results of a survey sent to all U.S. and Canadian dental schools clearly indicate that several substantial changes have occurred in infection control and exposure control in the past fifteen to twenty years. Predominant among these are that the responsibility for instrument preparation and sterilization in most schools has passed from the student to trained staff, the routine practice of universal precautions has eliminated the need to treat patients known to carry bloodborne diseases in a special area, and pre-admission and enrollment vaccination and health screening requirements have changed significantly. Other important changes result from the fact that the majority of U.S. schools responding to the survey are now, to a great extent, in compliance with the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard or equivalent requirements.
一项面向美国和加拿大所有牙科学校开展的调查结果清楚地表明，在过去十五至二十年里，感染控制和暴露控制方面发生了若干重大变化。其中最主要的变化包括，大多数学校中器械准备和消毒的责任已从学生转交给了经过培训的工作人员；普遍预防措施的常规实施使得无需在特殊区域治疗已知携带血源性病原体的患者；入学前和入学时的疫苗接种及健康筛查要求也发生了显著变化。其他重要变化源于以下事实：参与此次调查的大多数美国学校目前在很大程度上符合职业安全与健康管理局（OSHA）的《血源性病原体标准》或同等要求。
