Abstract

The purpose of this study was to assess total number, type and rate of reporting of occupational exposures experienced by dental students in Bhopal city, India. A pretested questionnaire was used to record information regarding demographic profile, vaccination status (HBV), occupational exposures (during last 6 months), clinic in which exposure occurred, treatment seeked, and reporting about exposure to the concerned staff. Statistical analysis was done using chi-square test. Results showed low occupational exposure rate among Indian dental students. But junior students need proper training. There is a need to educate students about reporting and post exposure protocol.

Keywords: Occupational Exposure; Dental Students; Reporting; Hepatitis B vaccination.
