title: Glove wearing: an assessment of the evidence.
abstract: Infection control is ubiquitous in current dental practice. However, it might not always be best practice to take the 'you can't be too safe' route without first weighing up all the available evidence, risks and benefits. This article will discuss the balance between the conflicting priorities in relation to glove wearing and infection control within the dental setting.
