Abstract: (4935 Views)
Background & Objective: Both dental patients and workers are in high chance of exposure to infective diseases such as HIV and Hepatitis. In spite of the advances in infection control technologies, there are still many problems in both private and state dental centers. The purpose of this study was to assess the knowledge and attitude of general dentists of Marvdasht, Fasa and Kazeroon cities concerning infection control principles during preparing intra oral radiographic views.
Material & Methods: This is a cross-sectional analytical study. Studied society was dentists of Fasa, Marvdasht and Kazeroon.15 dentists were collected randomly in each city. Data were collected using questionnaire. Results were analyzed using One-Way ANOVA (Analysis of variance), Student’s T-test and Pearson’s correlation coefficient tests.
Results: Knowledge average scores were 5.66 in Fasa, 6.4 in Marvdasht, 4.06 in Kazeroon and 5.37 in total (out of 12). Attitude average scores were 6.2 in Fasa, 6.86 in Marvdasht, 5.06 in Kazeroon and 6.04 in total (out of 12). Knowledge of dentists in Marvdasht was significantly higher than Kazeroon. The knowledge and attitudes of dentists about infection control principles during preparing intra oral radiographic views was not in good range.
Conclusion: More emphasis of the aspect of infection control principles is necessitated during preparing intra oral radiographic views In order to improve knowledge and correcting attitudes of dentists during dentistry training courses.
