Course Description:

This course provides a practical and candid review of Infection Prevention and Control (IPAC) principles as they relate to the current standards and expectations of the CDHO, RCDSO, and Public Health Ontario (PHO). Through the review of real-world case studies involving IPAC lapses in Ontario dental practices, participants will examine where failures occurred, identify contributing factors, and gain practical strategies to prevent similar issues in their own clinical settings.
