COVID-19 fundamentally changed dental infection control. Respiratory protection is now included in the dental safety standards and the previously elusive arena of airborne disease management is now considered a realistic goal. There are many options to consider and some weak links in available practices. This class gives you a “Hit List” of the most important infectious airborne diseases and effective strategies to protect against droplet, contact & aerosol transmitted diseases (ATD’s).
Learning Objectives
After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Update safety standards and goals for contact, droplet and airborne disease management
- Prioritize respiratory safety strategies that are the most effective
- Identify and address weak links in dental safety practices
