title: Indiana dentists acceptance of universal precautions.
abstract: Dentistry along with other health care disciplines is evaluating infectious control procedures for the protection of patients and staff. The AIDS scare of the early 80s precipitated many concerns leading up to the practice changes reported in this article. The authors have collected survey data over a three-year period, from 1985 to 1988, to document the response of Indiana dentists to new infectious disease control requirements.
