The SARS-CoV-2 virus continues to present unique challenges for dental practices. The adverse effects of all types of pathogens requires vigilance and agility to stay abreast of the most current guidelines, standards, and best practices.

There have been significant OSHA and infection control changes in the past two years. While we can’t predict the future, it’s more critical now than ever to ensure your practice and your team are in full compliance with all the updates. One thing is clear, variations in compliance protocols could lead to disease transmission, loss of patient trust, or regulatory scrutiny.

Learning Objectives:

Discuss the most current OSHA and COVID updates
Compare and contrast the different levels of PPE and when to wear what
Discuss the major routes of disease transmission
