Abstract

Introduction: Occupational exposure in dentistry is defined as exposing the skin or mucosa to Blood, Saliva, or infectious discharge of the patient. Dentists are in contact with sharp and high-speed rotary devices that increase the chance of Occupational exposure.

Methods: A descriptive analytical study was conducted on 70 senior dental students at the School of Dentistry of Shahid Sadoughi University of Medical Sciences in Yazd, Iran. A standard questionnaire was used for collecting the data. After collecting the data, they were coded and entered into the SPSS 20 software and analyzed using descriptive statistics, Chi-square and Fisher exact test. Results: Based on the results, 49 (70%) of 70 students have been suffered from sharp devices. The skin or mucosa of the 62 students (88. 6%) infected with Saliva or other body fluids of the patients. Only 15. 7% of the injuries were reported with sharp objects and 14. 3% of mucosal-skin contamination with Blood or Saliva. Conclusion: Occupational exposure in dentistry environment is a common problem and many cases, which are related to these subjects were not reported.
