Methods: A transversal descriptive study was implemented on 86 dentists selected with the snowball technique through a non-probabilistic sampling and for convenience, in the cities of Managua, Chinandega and León; a previously validated semi-structured questionnaire was applied. The data was processed using descriptive statistics through frequencies and percentages of the variables under study. Results: The dentists know the concept of biological risk in 98.8%, but not the specific name of the infectious agents and their entrance pathway into the host (76.7%), however, they perform frequent hand washing before and after each dental procedure (60.4%) and have basic notions of the protocol to follow when percutaneous accidents happen in 48.8%; the majority demonstrated good performance during disinfection and sterilization of instruments and equipment 78% and 68.6%, as well as personal biosecurity (98.8%). The city of Managua stands out for the adequate management of bio-infectious waste. Conclusions: Dentists presented a regular knowledge, fair performance and good biosecurity practices. Keywords: Health knowledge, attitudes, practice; Biosafety; Dentistry; Nicaragua.Objetivo: Describir los conocimientos, actitudes y prácticas de normas de bioseguridad y riesgo biológico en odontólogos que ejercen su práctica privada en tres ciudades de Nicaragua, durante el año 2017. Métodos: Se realizó un estudio descriptivo transversal con 86 dentistas seleccionados con la técnica bola de nieve a través de un muestreo no probabilístico y por conveniencia en las ciudades de Managua,Chinandega y León; a los cuales se le aplicó un cuestionario semiestructurado previamente validado. Los datos fueron procesados utilizando estadística descriptiva mediante frecuencias y porcentajes de las variables en estudio. Resultados: Los odontólogos conocen el concepto de riesgo biológico en un 98,8%, pero no el nombre específico de los agentes infecciosos y las vías de entrada de éstos al organismo (76,7%), realizan el lavado de manos frecuente antes y después de cada procedimiento dental (60,4%) y tienen nociones básicas de actuación ante accidentes percutáneos en un 48,8%, la mayoría responde a buenas actitudes de desinfección y esterilización de instrumentales y equipos 78% y 68,6%, así como bioseguridad personal (98,8%). La ciudad de Managua resalta por el adecuado manejo de residuos bioinfecciosos. Conclusiones: Los dentistas presentaron un conocimiento regular, una actitud positiva y buenas prácticas de bioseguridad.Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcos, Facultad de Odontología2019-02-28info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionapplication/pdfhttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/odont/article/view/1583910.15381/os.v22i1.15859Odontología Sanmarquina; Vol. 22 No. 1 (2019); 19-25Odontología Sanmarquina; Vol. 22 Núm. 1 (2019); 19-251609-86171560-9111reponame:Revistas - Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstname:Universidad Nacional Mayor de San Marcosinstacron:UNMSMspahttps://revistasinvestigacion.unmsm.edu.pe/index.php/odont/article/view/15839/13615Derechos de autor 2019 Manuel Amed Paz Betancohttps://creativecommons.org/licenses/by-nc-sa/4.0info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessoai:ojs.csi.unmsm:article/158392019-04-18T10:21:54Z
