From Policy to Practice: OSAP's Guide to the CDC Guidelines (2019 Edition)

CE credits are no longer available for the 2019 Edition. 

This comprehensive workbook reflects both the recommendations from the CDC Guidelines for Infection Control in Dental Health-Care Settings-2003 and the 2016 Summary of Infection Prevention Practices in Dental Settings: Basic Expectations for Safe Care. Although the CDC guidelines are comprehensive, they describe only what dental health care personnel (DHCP) should do, not how they should do it. This workbook will help you understand and implement the CDC guidelines into practice in your own setting.

Each chapter of the workbook contains practical, how-to instructions, charts and checklists, pictures and captions, answers to common questions, and guidance for making sound clinical judgments.

Learning Objectives

  1. Apply CDC dental infection prevention and control guidelines in site-specific dental healthcare setting
