Abstract
This study has identified some shortfalls in academic knowledge and intended treatment practice among UK final-year dental students with regard to blood-borne viruses. The problem areas identifed included knowledge of the different serological markers, humoral response and transmission routes and vectors of HBV; lesions and infections associated with HIE and the most appropriate cross-infection policy to use. This paper makes recommendations for the teaching of dental undergraduate students to address the deficiencies which the study exposed.
