The prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers in 416 dental students, 115 dentists, and 329 members of the general population was studied in Athens. Markers were present in 36 students (8.7%), 34 dentists (29.6%), and 74 controls (22.5%). Four students (1.0%), 3 dentists (2.6%), and 6 controls (1.8%) were carriers of hepatitis B surface antigen (HBsAg). The prevalence of HBV infections increased with age significantly faster in the dental profession than in the general population, showing an increased risk. Of 22 dentists in practice for more than 20 years, 12 (54.5%) had HBV markers and 4 (18.2%) reported a clinical hepatitis infection. These data show that members of the dental profession should also be included in the national hepatitis B vaccination program.
在雅典对416名牙科专业学生、115名牙医和329名普通人群进行了乙肝病毒（HBV）标志物流行情况的研究。标志物在36名学生（8.7%）、34名牙医（29.6%）和74名对照者（22.5%）中出现。4名学生（1.0%）、3名牙医（2.6%）和6名对照者（1.8%）为乙肝表面抗原（HBsAg）携带者。在牙科行业中，HBV感染的流行率随年龄增长显著快于普通人群，显示出风险增加。在从业超过20年的22名牙医中，12名（54.5%）有HBV标志物，4名（18.2%）报告有临床肝炎感染。这些数据表明，牙科行业人员也应纳入国家乙肝疫苗接种计划。
