Abstract
Every medical or dental office is potentially a space where agents of infection can be easily transmitted to others. It is called: Cross-Contamination. Everyday health professionals (doctors, dentists, surgeons, nurses, ophthalmologists, etc) are confronted with these risks of Cross-Contamination coming from patients (patients already infected by pathogenic germs, or also from medical staff). Problems of Cross-Contamination must not be minimized nor exaggerated, but in our case, dentists should be aware of these problems in their office, not only for themselves but also for their patients and staff as well.
