Infectious hepatitis C, hepatitis G, and TT virus: review and implications for dentists / G. Lodi, C. Bez, C. Scully, S.R. Porter, J.B. Epstein. - In: SPECIAL CARE IN DENTISTRY. - ISSN 0275-1879. - 22:2(2002), pp. 53-58. [10.1111/j.1754-4505.2002.tb01162.x]
Abstract:
In the past 10 years, hepatitis C and G viruses have been identified, and in the
last two years a further parenterally transmitted agent, termed TT virus (TTV),
has been discovered. These viruses have a worldwide distribution and frequently
cause chronic infection. The purpose of this article was to promote an
understanding of these viral agents and their relevance in dental practice.
Infected patients may develop a chronic carrier state without clinical disease or
may develop liver disease, and may have related oral conditions. Dental providers
will see a growing number of patients with HCV/HGV and possibly TTV infection.
All of these patients require appropriate infection control measures during
dental treatment.
