Cross-infection routines should be used by both the dentist and the dental surgery assistant (DSA), and the wearing of gloves during patient treatment is considered an integral part of such routines. Results are presented which indicate the extent to which DSAs wear gloves while assisting in patient care, and the factors influencing glove wearing are discussed.
