Dokter gigi berisiko tertusuk jarum atau benda tajam lainnya yang berpotensi tertular penyakit infeksi. Penelitian ini bertujuan menjelaskan faktor-faktor risiko terjadinya luka tusuk jarum atau benda tajam lainnya. Desain penelitian adalah cross sectional study dengan pendekatan semi kuantitatif. Sampel penelitian adalah seluruh populasi dokter gigi (39 orang) di puskesmas Tangerang Selatan. Hasil telitian mendapatkan kebanyakan (87,2%) responden berpengetahuan baik, sebagian besar (89,7%) mempunyai sikap yang baik, namun masih ada hampir setengahnya (41,0%) tidak mempunyai keterampilan yang baik. Sedangkan fasilitas poliklinik gigi lebih dari setengahnya (68,0%) tidak baik, dan hampir semuanya (96,0%) tidak mempunyai SOP tindakan gigi, sedangkan menurut persepsi responden kebanyakan (82,1%) tidak ada pengawasan. Disarankan harus dilatih dan dibina tentang teknik pencegahan tertusuk jarum atau benda tajam, serta mempertimbangkan rasio dokter gigi dan jumlah pasien agar mengurangi tekanan waktu kerja bagi dokter gigi. Faktor penunjang berupa fasilitas, SOP dan pengawasan masih perlu ditingkatkan.
