The authors found that 19 percutaneous exposures among dental workers occurred both during and after use of instruments such as syringe needles and scalers. Specific information about the device and action associated with an exposure is important for prevention efforts, including safer instruments and work practices. Most of these exposures probably involved smaller, rather than larger, amounts of blood infected with the human immunodeficiency virus. To our knowledge, none of the exposures resulted in HIV transmission to an enrolled dental worker.
作者发现，牙科工作人员中有19起经皮暴露事件发生在使用注射器针头和牙刮治器等器械期间及之后。有关暴露相关设备和行为的具体信息对于预防工作很重要，包括更安全的器械和工作规范。这些暴露事件中的大多数可能涉及感染人类免疫缺陷病毒的少量血液，而非大量血液。据我们所知，这些暴露事件均未导致参与研究的牙科工作人员感染艾滋病毒。
