ABSTRACT
Dentist's office represents an area with high infectious risk both for workers and patients. With our study we tried to analyse the relationship between dentists and prevention. We studied 104 dentists who had to answer to a questionnaire composed by 25 questions on topics such as job management, risk perception, measures adopted for prevention and knowledge about normatives regarding safety at work. From the answers we can conclude that dentists know the risk present in their work and use correctly the individual preventive dispositives; make blood control to test hepatitis markers, in particular HCV. But only 68% made HBV vaccination. Many dentists,even if they know the way of transmission of HIV, avoid to cure positive patient.
