On September 23, CDC issued new infection prevention and control updates, providing guidance around topics including testing, exposure, and universal PPE.
In this updated webinar, created in partnership with the Organization for Safety, Asepsis, and Prevention* (OSAP), we will discuss this latest guidance and how it applies to infection prevention and control in dentistry. Our expert speaker will break down several topics, including the CDC Core Practices that apply to dental settings, standard and transmission-based precautions, respiratory protection, and relevant OSHA standards. She'll share strategies and resources to help participants implement current recommendations and evaluate ongoing compliance, and answer participant questions in an extended Q&A segment.
*OSAP is the only dental membership association for oral health care professionals focused exclusively on dental infection prevention and patient and provider safety.
Learning Objectives
- Review updated CDC infection prevention and control guidance for dentistry.
- Differentiate standard precautions and transmission-based precautions.
- Identify strategies and resources for implementation and evaluation.
- Discuss implications for dental infection prevention and control going forward.
