To determine the prevalence and types of percutaneous exposure incidents (PEIs) among staff and students at a dental school, compare the prevalence of PEIs sustained in pediatric dentistry with other specialties, and evaluate the compliance to post-exposure protocols.
First, a retrospective data analysis of PEIs between January 2012 and December 2017 was done. Following that, a cross-sectional study of dental students, dentists, and dental clinical assistants (DCA), using a self-administered questionnaire to collect information regarding PEIs, was conducted between January 2016 and December 2017; post-exposure management data was also collected.
