Abstract

A cross - sectional descriptive study was carried out to determine the level of knowledge about biosecurity in stomatology in the technical and professional staff of the Julio A. Mella Clinic in Guantanamo province. The universe was constituted by the stomatological personnel who showed willingness to fill out the questionnaire. Knowledge about biosafety was analyzed: (knowledge of Biosafety standards, indications of surface disinfection and instruments, communicable diseases and general evaluation of Biosafety knowledge). An exhaustive bibliographical revision on the subject was carried out with universal and national literatures. The primary data were obtained from a survey sheet prepared by the authors. There were low numbers on a level of knowledge that was moderately sufficient, most of them showed insufficiency.
