Dental Aerosols: How Dangerous and Pervasive Are They?

DE / RDH / DACE Webcast October 12, 2017 Dental aerosols are something that all dental practitioners are familiar with. But do you really know how far aerosols spread when you perform standard procedures? In a study in a dental office, microscopic pathogens were found behind closed doors in a room where no treatment occurred. This CE course will describe the dangers of dental aerosols to both patients and staff, detail how aerosols travel and explain a proven solution to reduce the spread. Learning Objectives Understand the hazards that dental aerosols pose not just to the patient population, but to staff as well. Explain how dental aerosols travel on air currents. Describe the relationship between positive and negative air pressure and how it affects the dental environment. Understand particle size and why you should care about it. Learn how UV-C air purification can reduce aerosols and minimize contamination on surrounding surfaces. https://event.webcasts.com/starthere.jsp?ei=1164696&tp_key=9d4a2654c1
