Abstract
Between 1989 and 1992, reports of outbreaks and transmissions of tuber culosis in institutional settings prompted the Centers for Disease Con trol and Prevention to review the guidelines for TB infection control it had published in 1990. The CDC published an updated version of the guidelines in October 1994. This article gives dentists an overview of the guidelines' recommendations that are applicable to most outpatien t dental settings.
