Abstract

The biosecurity standards were born to inspect and prevent the spread of certain infectious-contagious diseases which had greater relevance with the appearance of the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV), they are also all those standards, instructions and care that must be taken at the time to attend patients and / or handle contaminated instruments to avoid the risk of becoming infected or ill. Generating the research question What is the state of knowledge about factors that influence dental practices, causes of biosafety failures that verify the quality of the dental service? The type of study of this research is a review of the literature of a quality dental practice with respect to biosafety, where it is based on the collection of certain investigations, scientific articles, publications, in order to select the specific articles on the subject and thus be able to critically analyze them with scientific information in relation to the knowledge and execution of biosafety in dental practice. In the area of dentistry, all staff, both dentists and assistants, administrative staff who are working in clinical areas and patients are exposed to different biological agents during the care service. Therefore, a series of precautions established by rules and protocols that are called universal for the exercise of the profession must be adopted. It is important to use personal protection barriers such as gowns, gloves, masks and immunizations, caution in handling waste and hazardous waste. Handling of sharp objects and everything related to biosecurity in order to counteract acquiring an infectious and contagious disease. The results obtained from this systematic review were conclusive since it is evidenced that despite the fact that professionals in the entire area of dentistry, including specialists, undergraduate students from different universities in Latin America and Europe, assistants and patients have knowledge On the subject of biosafety, biosafety protocols itself, sterilization and disinfection methods, they are not aware of its importance and therefore do not put what was learned into practice in the clinical area. Resulting in the contagion of certain diseases and cross contamination in general.
