Infection Control Webinar Series: What’s In Your Water? Keeping Your Dental Unit Waterlines Safe for Your Patients
2024-09-12 18:30 - 19:30
Infection Control Webinar Series: What’s In Your Water? Keeping Your Dental Unit Waterlines Safe for Your Patients
Presented by Alyssa Aberle, MBA, RDH, CDIPC
In 2022, the Centers for Disease Control (CDC) issued a health advisory related to outbreaks of nontuberculous mycobacteria infections and the high importance of maintaining and monitoring dental unit waterlines. Dental teams and patients have become increasingly aware of the risks from receiving treatment involving contaminated water sources. While many dental offices take steps to treat or maintain dental unit waterlines, we need to be proactive about monitoring the bacterial loads in our waterlines to ensure that we are not putting our patients at risk.
Objectives:

Review the microbiology of dental unit waterlines and the infectious risks that can be present
Discuss dental unit waterline maintenance options and strategies to help maintain low bacterial loads in our dental units
Establish protocols for testing and monitoring dental unit waterline quality and what to do if dental unit waterline tests show increased levels of bacteria

Ms. Alyssa Aberle is a graduate of the University of Colorado School of Dental Medicine’s dental hygiene program. Alyssa has spent her dental hygiene career working with several local nonprofit organizations. She has a Certificate in Dental Infection Prevention and Control (CDIPC) and works with dental teams to provide annual OSHA and infection control training, audit preparation, and consulting to help implement better infection prevention practices for their patients. Ms. Aberle’s background as the Infection Control Coordinator for a large multi-site community health center gives her expertise in implementing systems to efficiently provide safe care.
Please note: This course is not intended to meet the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens annual training requirement as outlined in the OSHA Bloodborne Pathogens Standard. This course is intended to be a “closer look” at a specific infection control-related topic to supplement the annual OSHA training required for all employees in your practice.
