Abstract: it is mandatory for dentists to enhance their knowledge regarding the nature, associated hazards and infection control guidelines of BBV diseases. [7] Inability to gain relevant knowledge will result in reluctance to treat BBV infected patients, as shown by a study in which dental students were reluctant in treating AIDS patients because of lack of confidence in managing such patients. [5] In addition to knowledge, two other important traits of a dentist which influence the implementation of infection control guidelines and the treatment provided to BBV patients, are attitude and behavior of a dentist.
