Post Date: 1/17/2025
CE Amount: 1
Categories: Infection Control
COURSE OVERVIEW
Infection Control has never been more important than it is today! Dental practices have been extraordinarily effective in preventing transmission of bloodborne pathogens, with not a single case of HIV transmission from patient to provider ever documented. SARS-CoV-2 has brought the possibility of airborne transmission in the dental setting to the forefront. The CDC and OSHA continue to update the COVID-19 infection control guidance for dental/ambulatory settings. With many mixed messages coming from the U.S. federal agencies, the focus of this presentation will be on best practices and technologies available in infection prevention and control in dental settings, taking into consideration changes that may occur with SARS-CoV-2 variants. This presentation will continue the focus on the latest information available to ensure the safest dental visit for both the dental team and those we serve.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES
After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Explain the latest CDC and OSHA infection guidance for dentistry and ambulatory settings
- Discuss the changes to infection control procedures implemented during the height of the COVID-19 pandemic and how they still apply today
- Compare the latest infection prevention technologies to ensure that our profession continues to provide the safest possible dental visits
