Summary:

The go-to source for patient safety and infection prevention in the dental office!, Emphasizing patient safety and disease prevention in the dental office, Infection Control and Management of Hazardous Materials for the Dental Team, 6th Edition, is a must-have-resource for all dental office personnel. With discussions ranging from microbiology concepts to protocols for clinical asepsis, this comprehensive, highly practical text features the most up-to-date regulatory recommendations, as well as new chapters on patient safety preparation and infection control breaches. Step-by-step instructions make it easy for you to perform safety procedures and use the supplies and equipment needed to prevent the spread of infectious disease, and new case scenarios present opportunities for critical thinking and application. New to this Edition, Updated content based on the CDC's of Infection Prevention Practices in Dental Settings, which includes additional topics and information to augment the 2003 Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Health-Care Settings. Two new chapters cover preparation for patient safety (focusing on training for dental personnel) and infection control breaches within dental offices. Additional full-color images focus on disease states, disease transfer, and safety culture, helping improve teaching and learning. Case scenarios added to specific chapters each examine an infection control incident, along with its potential consequences, possible preventive measures, and related recommendations and regulations. Plus, Comprehensive coverage looks at infection control and prevention from the perspective of all dental team members. Easy-to-follow, step-by-step procedures are provided for skills that dental team members must master, each presented with a goal, materials, chronological steps, and rationales for the performance of each step. Multiple-choice review questions in each chapter provide practice for classroom and board examinations. Chapter quizzes on the Evolve companion website supply instant feedback self-assessment and even more opportunities to ensure test-day readiness. Key vocabulary is highlighted within text discussions and defined in a back-of-book glossary. Trusted author and oral biology and infection control expert Dr. Chris Miller delivers the most up-to-date content needed to ensure patient safety and clinical competence within the dental office. Practical appendices offer easy access to the most significant regulatory agency rules and recommendations for infection control. Book jacket.
