    Abstract:
    This investigation aimed to examine the practice of the members of The Consultants in Restorative Dentistry Group (UK) in relation to routine cross-infection control when handling impressions and items of prosthetic laboratory work. A questionnaire was sent to one hundred and twenty six members of the Group. A response rate of 63% was recorded. Seventy percent of respondents routinely rinsed and disinfected dental impressions. Twenty four percent routinely rinsed items of laboratory work and 44% routinely disinfected items of laboratory work. The results of this study demonstrate a lack of uniformity in the practice of members of the group in routine infection control for impressions and laboratory work.
