title: Patient attitudes to the wearing of gloves by dentists.
abstract: Cross-infection control in dentistry is of continuing concern, and this survey provides some timely information on the attitudes of patients to the wearing of gloves by their dentists. A high proportion of the patients questioned felt glove wearing was important, although only half would not attend a dentist who did not wear gloves.
