Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Health-Care Settings - 2003

In 2003, the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) published updated recommendations for dental infection control. Developed in collaboration with authorities on infection control from the CDC and other public agencies, academia, and private and professional organizations, this course consolidates and expands previous CDC recommendations and incorporates the infection-control provisions of the Occupational Safety and Health Administration (OSHA) Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. This course provides an overview of current CDC recommendations for minimizing the potential for disease transmission during the delivery of dental care.
