Effective and Productive Instrument Processing

Effective and Productive Instrument Processing


4 CEUs
 
Abstract

In order to meet the challenges of safety, time management and asepsis,the dental health care provider must have a plan for infection control, including the use and care of dental instruments and disposables. Following the basic CDC guidelines can help to significantly reduce the risk of microbial transmission. After the patient is dismissed, the operatory must be prepared for the next patient, including the treatment of surfaces and instrument processing. There is a variety of methods available to properly reprocess instruments. Choosing a system that minimizes risk, maximizes productivity and preserves instruments is essential.

Diabetes, Oral Health, and Nutrition: Interrelationships, Innovations, and Interventions


Your patients with diabetes are more likely to
  • develop periodontal disease
  • have more severe periodontal disease and
  • lose more teeth

 
Your patients with severe periodontal disease are more likely to
  • eat less fiber
  • eat more fat and refined sugars because they’re easier to chew
  • have worse glycemic control
  • and be at higher risk for severe diabetic complications
