OSAP 2015 Symposium: Infection Control - Gaining the Edge |
TITLE |
|
What’s Noteworthy or New Regarding Infection Control in the Dental Lab? |
DESCRIPTION |
|
This course will provide information on the challenges faced by dental laboratories for proper management of potential occupational exposures to infectious agents during their manufacturing processes. Dental implants pose challenges to the laboratory due to the presence of blood and other potentially infectious material which may not be obvious to the dental technician working with the impressions and models. Removable denture repairs and relines remain a source of concern for exposure during these manufacturing processes. As dental technicians are doing more consulting with dental practitioners and patients, ranging from shade verifications, either in the dental office or in the laboratory, to implant placement during surgery, infection control must be a priority for the entire dental team.
