摘要
Approximately 70% of the population in the western world become infected with the herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) by the second decade of life. This review discusses the role of the HSV-1 as a potential occupational hazard for dental workers, focusing on herpes labialis, herpetic Whitlow and keratitis. The risks associated with the dental treatment of patients with HSV-1, both from the perspective of the clinician and the patient are presented. Procedures for minimising the impact of HSV-1 within the dental practice, in particular infection control, delivery of treatment and patient education, are addressed. The management options for recurrent herpes labialis are also reviewed.
