Description:
Dental practices have struggled with numerous safety issues during the SARS-CoV-2 pandemic, such as wearing the correct PPE, adequately decontaminating treatment rooms, and containing aerosols commonly produced during dental procedures. The pandemic emphasized the need to improve air quality and aerosol safety in dental practices and the need for re-evaluating PPE protocols as well as engineering controls in the treatment room. This CE webinar will discuss the hazards that exist in the treatment rooms beyond COVID-19 and how dental practices can create a safer environment for patients and the dental team.
Objectives:
Upon completion of this CE webinar, participants will be able to:
• Identify airborne transmissible diseases that can pose a risk during dental treatment
• Discuss appropriate respiratory protection for aerosol-generating procedures
• Develop strategies for improving air quality and decreasing infectious aerosols in dentistry
