Abstract

Infection control is critical to good dental practice. To this end, it is essential that the practitioner not only understand the concepts involved in the development and applications of antimicrobial(physical and chemical) agents but also know how to use them properly in the dental operatory. Practical applications of infection control are more fully described in several of the suggested references.
