[Infection control in dentistry. Educational requirements].
The need for an effective infection control program has always been an essential and integral part of the dental practice. Despite human and material efforts, occupational diseases continue to consume significant health care worldwide and the risk of "cross-infection" remains high. The European dental education requires the specialists in this field to have a high level of medical training, the standards for clinical skills and abilities including knowledge on the control of "cross infection" and the prevention of physical, chemical, and microbial contamination. The results of a questionnaire-based assessment of the knowledge gained by the last year students (VI) of the Iaşi School of Dentistry revealed the need for improving their knowledge in this field by inducing firm clinical behavioral abilities, organization of practical "exercises" in ideal circumstances and conditions for applying the infection control protocols.
