Abstract　： [Key Points] 1. Facilities providing medical and dental treatment should develop evidence-based and cost-effective infection-control policies and procedures and should update them periodically. 2. Antibiotic prophylaxis should be required in patients whose immunity is compromised and who undergo dental procedures associated with a higher incidence of infection. [Introduction] Infection control is a key component of the broader discipline of hospital epidemiology. Infection-control programs have been proven to reduce the rate of nosocomial infections and to be cost-effective. In fact, infection control programs became a requirement largely as a result of the mandates of the Joint Commission For Accreditation of Hospitals (JCAHO) and the leadership guidelines and definitions of the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) in the US. Among surgical patients, surgical-site infections (SSI)s are the most common nosocomial infections. It is estimated that SSIs develop in two to five percent of the patients undergoing surgical procedures each year.
