Every dentist needs a compliance program tailored to the needs of their practice.

OSHA

Compliance is a commitment to always following procedures and protocols outlined by organizations like the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), state dental boards, and OSHA. But it can be difficult for offices to stay aware of every regulation and guideline and ensure personnel are always properly trained.

According to a study by Hu-Friedy, they found that 66% of practices were not compliant in monitoring their sterilization units. 36% people transport contaminated instruments just on a loose tray. 29% people hand-scrub their instruments for sterilization. 99% of practices believe that their infection prevention programs are effective. Some of these numbers just don’t add up.
