A frequently expressed concern regarding infection control guidelines is that they require too much time, effort and expense. This paper will address those concerns by examining the relationship between infection control and clinical efficiency. Infection control procedures can be minimized if proper attention is given to the concept of Limited Surface Contamination. Adherence to a clearly defined Zone of Contamination is essential. Emphasis should be on prevention rather than elimination of contamination. By following well-established principles of Dental Assistant Utilization (DAU), or 'four-handed dentistry', clinical efficiency is enhanced and infection control improved. Proper infection control in the dental surgery is virtually impossible without the cooperation and involvement of a well-trained, committed dental chairside assistant.
关于感染控制指南，人们经常表达的一个担忧是，它们需要太多的时间、精力和费用。本文将通过研究感染控制与临床效率之间的关系来解决这些担忧。如果适当关注有限表面污染的概念，感染控制程序可以减至最少。遵守明确界定的污染区域至关重要。重点应放在预防而不是消除污染上。通过遵循既定的牙科助理使用原则（DAU），即“四手操作 dentistry”，可以提高临床效率并改善感染控制。如果没有训练有素、敬业的牙科椅旁助理的合作与参与，牙科手术中的适当感染控制几乎是不可能的。
