Infection Control Is An Effort To Control And Prevent The Spread Of Infectious Diseases In Practice Setting. This Study Aimed To Describe The Implementation Of Infection Control In Dental Practices In The Yo- gyakarta City In The Availability And Utilization Of Facilities And Infrastructure. A Cross- Sectional Study Was Conducted In Yogyakarta City With Subjects Of 30 Dentist Who Has Independent Private Practice Chosen By Simple Random Sampling. Observational Tech- niques Using Check List Was Applied To Assess The Implementation Of Infection Control. Results Showed Existing Deficiencies Of Control Infection In The Components Of Equip- ment, Dentist, And Room. It Can Be Concluded That The Implementation Of Infection Con- trol In The Yogyakarta City Has Not Gone Well, It Is Source Of Concern As The Possibility Of Infectious Disease Transmission In Dental Clinic Occured. This Because The Level Of Awareness Is Still Lacking And The Dentist Thinks Will Impact The Length Of The Culture Is Still Neglected. Key Words: Dentists, The Yogyakarta City, Infection Control Abstrak Dokter gigi didefinisikan sebagai salah satu tenaga kesehatan yang dituntut untuk bertanggung jawab secara luas dalam berbagai upaya kesehatan masyarakat yang ada, maupun dalam bidang ilmu kesehatan gigi secara khusus di klinik gigi. Kontrol infeksi adalah upaya untuk mengendalikan dan mencegah terjadinya penyebaran penyakit infeksi dalam praktik. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui gambaran pelaksanaan kontrol infeksi pada praktik dokter gigi di kota Yogyakarta dalam hal ketersediaan dan pemanfaatan sarana dan prasarana, serta pelaksanaan kontrol infeksi. Desain penelitian ini adalah cross- sectional dengan bentuk survey. Cara pengambilan sampel dilakukan secara simple random sampling yaitu praktik swasta mandiri di wilayah kota Yogyakarta. Metode penelitian menggunakan teknik observasional dengan instrumen check list yang diisi oleh surveyor dan questioner yang diisi oleh responden. Data yang diperoleh dianalisis secara deskriptif. Subjek penelitian adalah 30 dokter gigi di kota Yogyakarta. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa ketersediaan dan pemanfaatan sarana dan prasarana, serta pelaksanaan kontrol infeksi masih terdapat kekurangan pada beberapa komponen yaitu kontrol infeksi alat, kontrol infeksi Iwan Dewanto, Infection Control Implementation At Private Dental Practice In Yogyakarta City IDJ, Volume 1, No. 2, Tahun 2012 59 dokter, dan kontrol infeksi ruangan. Ceklist yang digunakan untuk pelaksanaan observasi diambil dari Center of Disease (CDC) tahun 2002. Kuesioner untuk menilai pengetahuan dokter gigi dibuat oleh peneliti. Berdasarkan kuesioner yang menilai pengetahuan dokter gigi tentang kontrol infeksi tentang penggunaan autoklave di dapatkan 83,33% drg mengisi telah melakukan, namun dalam observasi yang menilai implementasinya ternyata hanya 53,33% drg yang melakukannya. Begitu juga tentang cuci tangan sebelum dan seudah praktek, di dalam kuesioner sebanyak 90% drg mengisi telah melaksanakannya, namun berdasarkan observasi hanya 53,33% saja yang melakukannya. Dapat ditarik kesimpulan bahwa pelaksanaan kontrol infeksi di kota Yogyakarta belum berjalan baik, dikarenakan tingkat kesadaran dokter gigi masih kurang dan budaya berfikir akan dampak panjangnya masih terabaikan, sehingga kemungkinan penularan penyakit infeksi antara dokter gigi dengan pasien maupun pasien dengan pasien dapat terjadi. Kata kunci : Dokter gigi, kota Yogyakarta, kontrol infeksi Introduction Infection Is The Process Whereby A Person (Host) Is Accessible By The Pathogen Agents (Infectious) That Grow And Repro- duce Themselves, Which Causing Danger To The Host (Asih And Setiawan, 2000). This Is Important For The Dentist In Relation To The Emergence Of Public Concern With The Increasing Rate Of Hiv, Hepatitis B And Other Infectious Diseases.. Infection Control Is Part Of A Quality Standard In Practice Setting. Dentists Are Obliged To Prevent Cross Infection By Decontaminating The Medical Equipments Appropriately And Cor- rectly (Sunoto, 2005). Dental Personnel Are Generally Exposed By A Large Number Of Microorganisms From The Patients’ Blood And Saliva Infec- tion Control In Dentistry Aims To Treat Pa- tients As If They Were Infected With The Disease That Can Not Be Cured. The Ameri- can Dental Association (Ada) Has Advocated The Use Of Infection Control Procedures In Dentistry Practice Since Many Years Ago. The Use Of An Effective Infection Control Procedures Within Dental Practices And Dental Laboratories Will Be Able To Prevent Dental Personnel And Patient From The Spread Of Disease Contamination (Yuwono, 2000). Basic Guidelines For Infection Control Is Based On The Statement “Not To Disin- fecting When You Can Sterilizing.” Infec- tion Is A Very Real Danger In The Dental Practice And Sterilization Is The Most Im- portant Component Of Infection Control. Sterilization Is Defined As Damage Or Elim- inate All Forms Of Life With Special Regard To Microorganisms. Efforts To Sterilize In This Case Is The Main Measures To Avoid Transmission Of Infection (Yuwono, 2000). Various Efforts Have Been Made To In- crease The Degree Of Public Health Status Through Health Services, Disease Control, Environmental Health, Development Of Community Health Insurance. In Accordance With The Action Plan For Creating A Healthy Yogyakarta City, The Government Has Established A Communicable-Non Communicable Disease Control Program. Based On Data From The Health Profile Of The City Of Yogyakarta In 2007, Infectious Diseases In The City Of Yogyakarta, Such As Hiv, Hepatitis B And Other Infections Is Increasing., The Number Of Hiv Cases Has Increased By 11 Cases (As Many As 15 Cas- es In 2005, The Year 2006 Becoming 26 Cases). Dentists As A Health Worker Are Required To Participate In Realizing The City Of Yogyakarta Healthy Program 2007 - 2011 (Din Kes Di Yogyakarta Province, 2007). Dental Professional Has A High Risk Of Contaminated From The Infection While On Treatment For Patients. Transmission Of The Disease Can Be Ascertained When Realize That Most Human Microbial Pathogens Iwan Dewanto, Infection Control Implementation At Private Dental Practice In Yogyakarta City 60 IDJ, Volume 1, No. 2, Tahun 2012 Could Be Isolated From The Secretion Of The Oral Cavity. As A Result Of Frequent Exposure To Microorganisms In The Blood And Saliva, The Incidence Of Certain Infec- tious Diseases Is Clearly Higher Among The Dental Profession Than Other Population. But Many Dentists Fail To Recognize Or Understand The Potential Infection Which Was Carried By Saliva And Blood During The Treatment. Ignoring The Actions And Procedures Can Result Harm To Others, In- cluding Family And Patients This Risk Is Of- ten Overlooked Because Sparks From The Patients’ Oral Cavity Are Not Visible (Yu- wono, 2000). In Carrying Out Their Profession, Dent- ists Have Possibility To Contact Directly Or Indirectly With The Microorganisms In Sali- va And Blood Of Patients. This Research Was Conducted To Determine The Dentist's Actions In Preventing Transmission Of In- fectious Diseases In Yogyakarta City. This Study Is To Determine The Appropriateness Of The Standard Operational Procedure For Control Infection In Order To Prevent Den- tal Infections. Material And Method Picture 1.

Observation Availability Of Facilities And Infrastruc- ture a. Equipment Sterilization Components Included Are Steriliz- ing By Autoclave Or Dry Heat, And Alcohol, 16. 67% Are Not Available, 0% Is Available But Not Used, 83.33% Available And Used. It Indicates That The Availability And Utilization Of Facilities And Infrastructure On The Sterilization Of Instruments Is Good. This Statement Is Supported By Dent- ists Through A Questionnaire That 68.33% Respondents Performed Equipment Infection Control. Autoc- lave Is A Tool Used To Sterilize Ob- jects With Moist Heat Pressure. Alco- hol Is Also Used For Simple Steriliza- tion, And Most Of Dentist Use Simple Autoclave For Circulation Of Unwrapping Equipments. This Ma- Iwan Dewanto, Infection Control Implementation At Private Dental Practice In Yogyakarta City 66 IDJ, Volume 1, No. 2, Tahun 2012 chine Has A 12 Minutes Of Sterilizing Time At 134o C And During That Time Should Not Be Opened (Harty And Ogston, 1995). Transmission Of Infection Can Occur Through Blood And Saliva-Exposed Equipment. Therefore, It Is Needed To Inhibit The Transmission Using Sterilization Tools, Such As An Autoclave That Prevent Direct Exposure To All Forms Of Microbial Life (Yuwono, 2000). There Are 16.67% Dentists Does Not Provide Sterilization Equipment, So The Transmission From Patient To Dentist And Patient To Patient Is Vul- nerable. b. Self Protection Components Included Are Gloves, Masks, Goggles, Clothing Practices, Hand Washing Soap, Towels Or Tis- sue, 13.33% Hand Washing Facilities Are Not Available, 10% Is Available But Not Used, 76.67% Available And Used. It Is Showed That The Attention Of Dentists In The City Of Yogyakarta Is Good. This Statement Is Supported By Dentists Through A Questionnaire That As Many As 66.67% Dentists Per- form Self Protection. Personal Protec- tion Included Washing Hands, Use Gloves, Face Mask, Eye Glass/Google, And A Medical Coat. Hand-Washing Procedures Performed With Antiseptic Soap Under Running Water. Require- ments To Be Met; Gloves Are Not Irri- tate Hands, Leak Proof, And Provide High Sensitivity. Using Masks Is In- tended To Protect The Nasal Mucosa And Saliva-Blood Splash Contamina- tion On The Eye Because The Eye Conjunctiva Is One Of The Entry Ports Of Most Viral Infections. While Cloth- ing Practice Is Recommended To Use When Treating Patients Which Should Be Buttoned At All Times (Pintauli.S, 2003). People Who Work In The Field Of Dentistry Having Potential Risk Af- ter Treating The Patient. Most Of The Dentist And His Assistant Did Not Recognize The Existence Of Pathogen- ic Microorganisms In Saliva And Blood During The Treatment. Hands Of A Doctor Or An Assistant Can Be An Effective Tool To Transmit The In- fection From Patient To Dentist Or As- sistant Vice Versa (Anonymous, 2008). There Were 13.3% Dentists Who Still Does Not Provide And Use Personal Protection. It Shows The Risk Of Transmission In The Practice Room Of A Dentist. Hepatitis B, Tuberculosis, Herpes Simplex Infection Is The Most Common Infectious Disease Caused By Lack Of Self Protection. In Addition, The Swine Flu (H1n1) Disease Has Now Emerged And Become A Pan- demic, Can Be Transmitted Through The Hands, Nose, Eyes And Mouth (Anonymous, 2009). So It Is Important For A Dentist To Provide Self Protec- tion For Themselves. c. Patient Protection Components Included In The Pa- tient's Infection Control Are Using Of Syringes, Disposable Needles And Washing Or Disinfecting Used Gar- gling Glass, And Diagnostic Tools Which Equal To To The Number Of Patients Per Day. Based On The Avail- ability And Utilization Of Facilities And Infrastructure, Showing That The Attention Of Dentists In The City Of Yogyakarta To The Protection Of Pa- tients Is Good. This Statement Is Sup- ported By Dentists Through A Ques- tionnaire That They Perform Protection For Patients From Transmission Of In- fectious Diseases. d. Room Sterilization Components Included In Control In- fection For Room Is The Medical Waste Disposal, Protective Surface Of Dental Unit, Disinfecting Solution; 11.31% Is Not Available, 2:22% Is Available But Not Used, 66.67% Available And Used. Based On The Availability And Utilization Of Facili- ties And Infrastructure, Showing That The Attention Of Dentists In The City Of Yogyakarta Is Good. This Statement Iwan Dewanto, Infection Control Implementation At Private Dental Practice In Yogyakarta City IDJ, Volume 1, No. 2, Tahun 2012 67 Is Supported By Dentists Through A Questionnaire That As Many As 65.33% Respondents Performed Infec- tion Control For Room. The Proper Way To Treat The Liquid Waste Is Di- rectly Linked To The Special Sanita- tion Systems, Poured With Large Amounts Of Water Splash. This Me- chanism Is Intended To Prevent Envi- ronmental Pollution (Yuwono, 2000). Surface Dental Protection Shielding Can Be Done By Covering The Surface With Paper, Plastic, Aluminum Foil And Replaced On Every Patient (Oka, 2008). This Closure Is Useful For Re- ducing The Need For Disinfection Ma- terials And Also Protecting The Sur- face Of The Dental Unit. Infection Control For Room Is Im- portant Because Some Diseases Can Be Transmitted Through The Existing Air Space (Airborne ), One Of Which Is Currently Considered As Harmful Is Deadly Bird Flu.The Virus Is Still A Close Relative With Type A Influenza Virus. Viruses Can Be Carried In Fec- es, Saliva, Food And Drinking Water Containers, Pens, And All Surface Soils (Ananta.P, 2007). B. Implementation Of Infection Control e. Equipment Sterilization Of The 30 Dentists In The City Of Yogyakarta, Which Uses An Autoclave Or Dry Heat Or Alcohol As A Means Of Sterilizing Materials For Sharp Tools, Diagnostic Tools, And Clean And Sanit- ize Bur Handpiece, Scaler, Air Syringe, Saliva Ejector In Each Turn Of The Pa- tients Was 1.67% Not Done, 73.33% Done But Incomplete, 25% Done Com- pletely. Based On Its Implementation, Shows That The Attention Of Dentists In The City Of Yogyakarta On Infection Control Is Poor. This Is Not In Accor- dance With The Statement Through The Questionnaire That As Much As 68.33% Dentists Performed Equipment Steriliza- tion. It Indicates That The Level Of Awareness About The Dangers Of Den- tal Disease Is Still Lacking. f. Self Protection Of The 30 Dentists In The City Of Yogyakarta Who Always Washing Hands Before And After Treatment, Al- ways Use And Replace Gloves, Always Use And Replace The Mask, Use Gog- gles And Washing And Disinfecting It After Use , Always Use The Practice Clothes And Take It Off When You Leave The Practice Room Is Not Done By 34% Respondents, 38% Done But Incomplete, 28% Done Completely. Based On Its Implementation, It Shows That The Attention Of Dentists In The City Of Yogyakarta To The Protection Of Themselves Is Poor. This Is Not In Accordance With The Statement Through The Questionnaire That As Much As 75.89% Respondents Per- formed Protection To Themselves. It In- dicates That The Level Of Awareness About The Dangers Of Dental Disease Is Still Lacking. Gloves Is A Means Of Microorganisms Transmission In The Respiratory Tract And Mouth. Mask Works To Prevent Aerosols That Can In- fect The Respiratory Tract. Goggles Should Always Be Used Because It Pro- tects The Eyes From The Spray Of Sali- va Or Blood Due To The Use Of The Handpiece And Scaler (Sunoto, 2005). g. Patient Protection Of The 30 Dentists In The City Of Yogyakarta, Who Use Disposable Sy- ringes And Needles, Using A Disposable Gargling Cup Or Washing And Sanitiz- ing The Used Cup, Using Disposable Sy- ringes And Needles Are: 0% Is Not Done, 0% Done But Not Completely, 100% Done Completely. Based On Its Implementation, It Shows That The At- tention Of Dentists In The City Of Yo- gyakarta To The Protection Of Patients Is Good. This Is Supported By A State- ment Through A Questionnaire That 100% Dentists Performed This Action. h. Sterilization Room Iwan Dewanto, Infection Control Implementation At Private Dental Practice In Yogyakarta City 68 IDJ, Volume 1, No. 2, Tahun 2012 Of The 30 Dentists In The City Of Yogyakarta, Who Always Use Surface Protection Or Decontaminate Dental Unit (Button Of The Unit, The Handle Lights) Every Turn Of The Patient, Clean And Sanitize The Room Before Or After Practice, To Clean And Sanitize Handpiece, Scaler, Air Syringe, Saliva Ejector In Every Turn Of The Patient, The Liquid Waste Into The Sewer Which Is Connected To A Sanitation System; 20% Not Done, 15% Done But Incomplete, 65% Done Completely. Based On Its Implementation, It Shows That The Attention Of Dentists In The City Of Yogyakarta On The Room Rather Not Good. Conclution 1. Availability And Utilization Of Facilities And Infrastructure For Control Infection: a. There Are Several Dentist Who Does Not Provide And Perform Equipment Sterilization Which Increasing Risk Of The Infection Transmission Between Doctor And Patient Or Patient With The Patient. b. There Are Several Dentist Who Does Not Provide And Perform Self Protec- tion Which Increasing Risk Of The In- fection Transmission Between Doctor And Patient. c. There Are Several Dentist Who Does Not Provide And Perform Protection Of Patients, Which Likelihood The In- fection Transmission Through The Tools And Materials In Direct Contact With Patients. d. There Are Several Dentist Who Does Not Provide And Perform Room So The Possibility Of Infection Transmis- sion Between Doctor And Patient Or Patient With The Patient Is Occurred. 2. The Process Of Implementation Of Infec- tion Control In Dental Practices In The City Of Yogyakarta Are: a. Implementation Of Infection Control On The Sterilization Of Instruments Are Not Perfect Yet, So The Possibility Of Infection Transmission Between Doctor And Patient Or Patient With The Patient Is Occurred. b. Implementation Of Infection Control To The Self Protection Are Not Perfect Yet, So The Possibility Of Infection Transmission Between Doctor And Pa- tient Is Occurred. c. Implementation Of Infection Control To The Protection Of Patients Is Good So The Possibility Of Infection Trans- mission Is Very Small. d. Implementation Of Infection Control On The Sterilization Room Was Poor/Moderate So The Possibility Of Infection Transmission Between Doc- tor And Patient Or Patient With The Patient Is Occurrred. Suggestion 1. For Dentists a. The Dentist Should Increase Know- ledge About Infection Control, Espe- cially Regarding Self Protection, Steri- lization And Medical Waste Manage- ment Through Seminars, Text Books, Journals And Training On Infection Control. b. The Dentist Should Comply With Min- imum Standards Relating To Infection Control. 2. For Public Health a. Health Department And Indonesian Dental Association Should Conduct Training On Dental Infection Control For Dentist b. Health Departement And Indonesia Dental Association Should Conduct Routine Surveillance In Infec-tion Control. 3. For Other Similar Research a. It Is Necessary To Conduct Similar Re- search In The Hospitals In Yogyakarta Province. b. It Is Necessary To Conduct Similar Re- search In Other Cities Or Provinces.
