In this webinar, we will explore how the right equipment can help prevent legacy errors and ensure proper infection control practices in dental offices. We will focus on common areas where corners are often cut, such as ultrasonic use, instrument inspection during reprocessing, and autoclave operation. By choosing equipment designed to mitigate human error, dental teams can maintain high standards of safety and compliance. Participants will learn how to select and use equipment like autoclaves with closed-door drying cycles to prevent skipping crucial steps in the sterilization process. This webinar will provide practical insights and strategies to help dental professionals create a culture of safety and accountability in their practices.

LEARNING OBJECTIVES:

1. Identify common legacy errors in infection control practices related to ultrasonic use, instrument inspection, and autoclave operation.
2. Evaluate equipment options that help prevent legacy errors and ensure proper infection control protocols are followed.
