Basic Science, Infection Control, OSHA
Infection Control Updates & OSHA Annual Compliance Training for the Entire Dental Team (4 hrs)
All clinical personnel in the dental setting are at risk for exposure to disease agents and other environmental hazards. With attention to infection control CDC Guidelines, risks to yourself, your patients, and other dental team members can be minimized. In this update, the scientific background behind infection control and safety regulations will be emphasized. Participants will be able to recognize strategies to break the chain of infection and prevent exposure to blood-borne pathogens and other infectious materials in the dental setting.
Dental professionals in the state of Michigan are required to comply with OSHA/MIOSHA Standards and to complete at least one hour of required continuing education in infection control per license renewal period. This course will satisfy both OSHA/MIOSHA requirements for annual training and Infection control updates required by the state of Michigan for re-licensure.
Antibiotic Stewardship in Dentistry: A Team Approach (2 hrs)
Antibiotic resistance is a major public health threat, with “superbug” infections occurring in 2.8 million people in the US each year. Antibiotic misuse and overuse are the primary reasons for the development of antibiotic resistance and Clostridioides difficile infection (C. Diff). When prescribing antibiotics the risks and benefits must always be considered
Antibiotic stewardship is the effort to measure and improve how antibiotics are prescribed by clinicians and used by patients. Appropriate antibiotic prescribing means prescribing antibiotics only when indicated. Stewardship efforts include the right antibiotic, the right dose, and the right duration.
In this program, the guidelines for use of antibiotics for prophylaxis and treatment in dentistry will be reviewed, challenges to responsible prescribing will be discussed. Attendees will be provided with numerous clinical tips, tools and resources for all dental team members to promote antibiotic stewardship in their own practice.
Dental Unit Waterlines: It’s time to Clear the Confusion! (2 hrs)
Water is a vital component of modern dentistry and water supplied from the dental unit is used for most every routine dental procedure. Dental personnel are required to deliver water that meets drinking water standards but are often confused about why and how to deliver safe water. This webinar will discuss the importance of using clean and safe water, and guidelines and regulations for water quality. Dental team members will learn how to ensure compliance for the continuous delivery of safe water during dental care through routine maintenance, shocking and testing their waterlines.
