Abstract
In this paper, we present a review of the risk of transmission of infectious diseases and its implications for dentistry. Hepatitis, specially hepatitis B and C, HIV infection, tuberculosis and other infectious diseases can be potencially transmitted in dental-care settings affecting both patients and the dental staff. Knowing the transmission probability and its features is the basis for the development of preventive infection control measures, in order to try to avoid or at least minimize the probability of acquiring these diseases in the working environment.
