At the Association for Dental Safety (ADS), we know that staying up to date on infection prevention is essential in every dental practice. As new risks and information emerge, continuous learning ensures both patients and providers stay safe. The latest issue of Infection Control in Practice (ICIP) delivers timely insights to keep your team prepared.
What Is ICIP?
Infection Control in Practice (ICIP) is our interactive digital publication designed specifically for oral healthcare professionals. Each bimonthly issue brings real-life dental scenarios, practical checklists, and team-based activities, making it easy to discuss and apply infection prevention best practices in your daily work. ICIP is ideal for team huddle activities and continuing education, supporting a culture of safety across your entire office.
Focus of the June 2025 Issue
The June issue highlights the latest updates on bloodborne disease transmission, emphasizing that the risks go beyond needlesticks. Through a realistic workplace scenario, this edition examines what happens when a staff member with hepatitis and hand dermatitis handles sterilized instruments bare-handed. The issue details different types of hepatitis, explains how bloodborne diseases spread, and outlines the significant risks linked to non-intact skin in dental settings. Easy-to-follow charts, visual aids, and summaries help your team identify safety breaches and implement correct protocols. Plus, you’ll find a video quiz, team discussion guide, and references to trusted resources and standards, all designed to make learning practical and engaging.
