Serum infectious indicators of patients before dental implant surgery in a stomatological hospital
Objective To explore the prevalence of serum infectious indicators of implant patients,including hepatitis B surface antigen(HBsAg),hepatitis C virus antibody(Anti-HCV),treponema pallidum antibody(Anti-TP)and human immunodeficiency virus antibody(Anti-HIV).Methods A retrospective analysis was conducted on the data of 5,896 patients who underwent dental implantion surgery and completed preoperative serum infectivity test in a stomato-logical hospital during Jan.2017 and Dec.2022,and the differences in general data such as gender and age were com-pared.Results Among the 4 serum infectious indicators in 5,896 patients,197 were positive,with an overall positive detection rate of 3.34%(197/5896).The positive detection rate of HBsAg,Anti-HCV and Anti-TP were 2.75%(162/5896),0.24%(14/5896)and 0.36%(21/5896),respectively(χ2=214.747,P<0.001).No Anti-HIV positive individual was identified.The differences in HBsAg positive detection rate among different age groups were statistically significant(χ2= 8.074,P=0.018).Conclusion There is a certain positive detection rate of preoperative serum infectious indicators in dental implant patients.It's recommended that dental personnel strictly implement pre-examination and triage,strengthen the implementation of hospital infection prevention and control measures,increase the screening of serum infectious indicators.Meanwhile,the health managernent department should strengthen publicity and education on the knowledge of infectious diseases such as vaccination to reduce the risk of cross infection of blood borne pathogens.
