	abstract = {A seroepidemiological survey of the prevalence of hepatitis B virus (HBV) markers was conducted in a group of 693 dental personnel in Singapore where HBV infection is endemic. The overall prevalence of HBsAg (4.5\%) and anti-HBc (29\%) was no higher than that in the general population. However, dentists had a significantly higher HBsAg prevalence (11.4\%) compared with that in the general population (4.2\%) (P less than 0.01) and of other categories of dental personnel (3.1\%) (P less than 0.001). Similarly, the anti-HBc prevalence of the dentists (45.6\%) was significantly higher than that of the general population (29.7\%) (P less than 0.01) and of other categories of dental personnel (25.7\%) (P less than 0.0001). It appears that dentists in the endemic area have a definite occupational risk of acquiring HBV infection.},
