The breadth and depth of our knowledge of infection control continues to increase in dramatic proportions. The literature is already massive and there is nothing to suggest an abatement of this situation. In truth, we can expect the very opposite; an escalation in attention at every level of concern, from the effectiveness of the chemical agents as actually used in the dental environment, to our methods of delivery, as well as the effects on the materials, equipment, and even the personnel in the dental setting. This trend undoubtedly will continue as our understanding of disease processes and the mechanisms of disease transmission increases. This will, in part, directly impact the scope and direction of future study of infection control practices in dentistry.
我们对感染控制的认识在广度和深度上都在急剧增加。相关文献已经浩如烟海，而且没有任何迹象表明这种情况会有所缓和。事实上，我们可以预期情况恰恰相反；从牙科环境中实际使用的化学制剂的有效性，到我们的给药方法，以及对牙科环境中的材料、设备甚至人员的影响，在各个关注层面上受到的关注都会不断增加。随着我们对疾病过程和疾病传播机制的理解不断加深，这一趋势无疑将持续下去。这将在一定程度上直接影响未来牙科感染控制实践研究的范围和方向。
