COURSE SUMMARY: Infection
prevention in your dental practice begins with effective hand
hygiene. The dental team may believe that wearing gloves reduces
the need for effective hand hygiene – they cut corners, and it
lowers compliance. Dental practices cannot afford to cut
corners when it means safety for your team and patients. By
implementing effective hand hygiene, the dental practice can reduce
the possibility of cross contamination and help to ensure safety
for patients and staff.
LEARNING OBJECTIVES:
- Define hand hygiene and compare to hand washing
- Review the history of hand hygiene
- Discuss the importance of hand hygiene
- Describe hand hygiene as part of standard precautions
- Explain when effective hand hygiene should be implemented
- Demonstrate effective hand hygiene techniques for non-surgical
and surgical procedures
