Description:
Instrument reprocessing is at the heart of a dental practice’s infection control plan and maintaining a safe care environment for our patients. Dental team members must understand the importance of proper instrument sterilization. In this course, we will discuss the rationale behind each step in instrument reprocessing and how to avoid common mistakes.

Objectives:

• Review the steps for instrument reprocessing
• Discuss common errors or gaps in protocols
• Help dental teams implement processes to ensure proper sterilization and decrease risk for infection control breaches.
