Abstract
Infection control and prevention is one of the most efficient and economical interventions against diseases in health care. Infectious diseases can be transmitted in dental laboratories through direct or indirect contact; hence infection control ought to be an essential aspect of dental laboratory practice to prevent dental laboratory personnel from exposure to infectious diseases. The aim of this review is to upgrade our knowledge on possible infection control protocols/practices in dental laboratories and to emphasize their importance.
