A questionnaire concerning infection control issues was sent to all North American dental schools in 1987. The results were compared with a similar survey conducted by the same authors in 1982. The purposes of the survey were to identify changes that have occurred in dental school infection control policies in the past six to seven years, and to study strengths and weaknesses of current policies. The results of the survey indicate a much greater emphasis on instrument sterilization and the use of barriers during dental treatment than in 1982. Compliance with the policy is not always satisfactory, however. It also shows some inconsistency and confusion in areas dealing with hepatitis B and HIV carrier patients and dental school personnel. Several respondents included written infection control protocols with the questionnaire. Information gained from the survey and the enclosures were used to develop guidelines to help schools improve and update their infection control policies.
1987年，一份关于感染控制问题的调查问卷被寄给了所有北美牙科学校。其结果与同一批作者在1982年进行的类似调查进行了比较。该调查的目的是确定在过去六到七年里牙科学校感染控制政策所发生的变化，并研究现行政策的优缺点。调查结果表明，与1982年相比，现在人们更加重视牙科治疗过程中的器械消毒和屏障的使用。然而，对该政策的遵守情况并不总是令人满意。调查还显示，在处理乙肝和艾滋病毒携带者患者以及牙科学校工作人员的问题上，存在一些不一致和混乱之处。几位受访者在问卷中附上了书面的感染控制方案。从调查及附件中获得的信息被用于制定指导方针，以帮助各学校改进和更新其感染控制政策。
