Infection Control Webinar Series: Top 10 Most Common OSHA & Infection Control Violations in the Dental Practice
2024-06-20 18:30 - 19:30
Top 10 Most Common OSHA & Infection Control Violations in the Dental Practice
Presented by Alyssa Aberle, MBA, RDH, CDIPC
Many dental teams fear the day they may have an OSHA or Dental Board inspection. Compliance with OSHA, CDC guidelines, and Dental Board rules and regulations are manageable with the right systems in place. In this course, we’ll discuss the most common violations that are cited by both OSHA and the Colorado Dental Board and how practices can avoid these common mistakes.
Objectives:

Establish resources for dental teams to learn and understand OSHA standards, CDC guidelines, and dental board rules and regulations
Review common violations seen by the Colorado Dental Board and OSHA when inspecting dental practices
Discuss how offices can implement systems to educate their dental teams, practice more efficiently, and ensure patient safety

Ms. Alyssa Aberle is a graduate of the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine’s dental hygiene program. Alyssa has spent her dental hygiene career working with several local nonprofit organizations. She has a Certificate in Dental Infection Prevention and Control (CDIPC) and works with dental teams to provide annual OSHA and infection control training, audit preparation, and consulting to help implement better infection prevention practices for their patients. Ms. Aberle’s background as the Infection Control Coordinator for a large multi-site community health center gives her expertise in implementing systems to efficiently provide safe care.
Please note: This course is not intended to meet the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens annual training requirement as outlined in the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. This course is intended to be a “closer look” at a specific infection control-related topic to supplement the annual OSHA training required for all employees in your practice.

MDDS Presents: HANDS-ON Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Administration Training
2024-06-07 08:00 - 16:00 | Mountain West Dental Institute
HANDS-ON Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen Administration Training
Presented by Dr. Jeffrey Young
Anxiety and pain are two of the main obstacles to the acceptance of dental care. Appropriate administration and use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen can be a safe, effective means to alleviate mild to moderate fear and anxiety. In addition, it may diminish responses to pain and elevate pain threshold.
This course will provide an introduction to the pharmacology, mechanism of action and effects of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen. The goals of anxiolysis, including clinical applications, indications, advantages/disadvantages and biohazards of administration will be presented. The monitoring and recognition of potential complications will be discussed.
A review of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen equipment and technique for safe administration will be presented followed by a demonstration of the administration and use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen inhalation equipment in a dental clinic setting. Participants will then practice administration and monitoring using actual inhalation equipment.
This is a one-day course with approximately five (5) hours of classroom instruction followed by two (2) hours of clinical demonstration and practice. At the end of this course, participants will clearly understand the indications for use of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen and be able to provide safe administration and monitoring.
Objectives

Discuss and understand the basic pharmacology and effects of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen
Review the anesthesia continuum and the Colorado State Board of Dentistry regulations regarding the administration and monitoring of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen in the dental office
Know the goals of anxiolysis including advantages and disadvantages of inhalation administration
Discuss indications and contraindications for safe administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen
Understand how to monitor patients and recognize potential complications of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen
Review the inhalation equipment used for administration of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen in dental offices
Become proficient in administration and monitoring of Nitrous Oxide/Oxygen by practicing with inhalation equipment in a clinical setting
