INFECTION CONTROL POLICIES AND PROCEDURES TO BE FOLLOWED DURING THE EXAM

PREPARATION AND DISINFECTING OF OPERATORIES

A.
Clean-up and aseptic preparation of operatory is required according to the protocol outlined below, immediately following each patient encounter. Adherence to these procedures will insure that all operatories will be left in an aseptic and sanitary condition and that minimal preparation of the operatory will be required before seating a new patient. Use plastic covers for the bracket tray, dental chair, air/water syringes, handpieces, suction hose handles and accessory arm. These covers provide the most effective protection from chemicals and microbes. Items so covered do not require surface disinfection after patient treatment unless the integrity of the cover has been compromised. Preparation of operatories shall be performed in accordance with the following sequence of activities. Each operatory shall be stocked with the following items: Within each clinical area, the following items are available: plastic covers for bracket tables, dental chairs, air/water syringes, handpieces, suction hose handles and accessory arm disposable saliva ejectors and suction tips puncture-resistant container for sharps disposal Upon entering the operatory, place the rheostat on the floor, place full water bottle on unit, turn on the main switch and lower the dental chair. Remove watches and jewelry from hands and store in a safe place. Wash hands with antiseptic soap, lather and rinse two times. Use a paper towel to avoid direct contact with the faucet handles. Put on disposable treatment gloves. Push suction tip, air/water syringe and saliva ejector through the small plastic cover so that the tips protrude through the cover. Test air/water syringe and suction to ensure unit activates. If plastic cover blocks activator switch in holder, simply pull plastic away from switch. Flush water through air/water syringe and handpiece for 30 seconds. Re-hang handpiece hoses and air/water syringe in their supports. Place disposable napkin on surface of mobile cabinet. Set out sealed instrument cassette and supplies for the entire treatment procedure on the covered bracket table and covered mobile cabinet. Remove radiographs and information from the patient chart. Place in appropriate location in the operatory. Remove disposable gloves. Seat the patient in the operatory. Patient use of an antiseptic mouthwash is recommended prior to treatment for reduction in patient oral bacterial count. Put on mask and eye covering. Wash hands, put on disposable treatment gloves. Open sealed instrument cassette without contaminating instruments. Place slow, color-change sterilization indicator strip on the unit with instruments. Retain paper instrument cassette wrap. Clean-up and disinfecting of the operatory shall be performed according to the following sequence of activities after dismissing the patient from the operatory: [Do not disinfect surfaces and items covered with plastic drape unless the plastic cover was torn during treatment.] Wash hands with antiseptic hand soap. Rinse, dry, and put on disposable treatment gloves. Place cotton rolls, air/water syringe tip, and other disposable items from the bracket table into the inverted plastic covering the dental chair and discard. With needle shield in place, remove covered needle from anesthetic syringe. Discard needle, anesthetic carpules, and all other sharp disposable items into puncture-resistant container. Cover for sharps container must be secured prior to removal of container from the operatory. Account for all instruments originally found on the cassette. Return instrument cassette to paper wrap and set aside. Spray disinfectant into a paper towel and wipe any used bottles and containers then wipe dry with paper towel. Flush water through handpiece into sink or trash containers for 30 seconds. Remove handpiece. Remove and discard plastic covers from air/water syringe, handpiece hoses, and suction hose from the supports on the unit. Discard suction and saliva ejector tips. Place three towels in the seat of the dental chair. Lay air/water syringe, handpiece hose, and suction hose ends on paper towel on the dental chair and wipe with disinfectant. Invert, remove, and discard plastic drape from bracket table. Remove and discard the lamp handle foil and the patient napkin covering mobile cabinet. Wet paper towel with disinfectant spray and wipe lamp switch, lamp face, and controls that were not covered with plastic drape. DO NOT SPRAY CONTROLS DIRECTLY. Wipe surface of the mobile cabinet, uncovered arms of dental chair, exposed drawer handles, radiographic view box and switch. Discard wet paper towels. Wipe faucet handles, sink counter top, and trash disposal openings with disinfectant and wipe dry with paper towel. Discard towel, re-spray areas with disinfectant, and leave damp. Wipe items of clinical equipment to be returned to the dispensary with disinfectant. Let stand for 3 minutes, then wipe dry. Remove treatment gloves. Discard in operatory trash bin. Wash hands with antiseptic hand soap, rinse, and dry with paper towel. Place a clean saliva ejector, air/water syringe tip and suction tip into their hoses and cover with plastic drapes. Cover the back of the dental chair with plastic drape. Cover lamp handles with foil. Cover the bracket table with plastic drape and place paper tray cover on top. Raise the dental chair to its highest position. Hang up the rheostat on the dental unit or lay in patient chair on paper towel. Turn off the main switch. Empty water bottle and invert on paper towel. Return instruments (IF RENTED) to the dispensary for sterilization. If instruments were brought in, disinfect, wrap in paper towels and remove from clinic. TREATMENT OF INSTRUMENTS
A.
Only sterile instruments and handpieces may be used in patient treatment. Please return all UNC instruments Cassettes, at the completion of treatment, in the
original blue wrap. Rinse instruments in the operatory and remove excess cement and gross
accumulation of debris prior to insertion into wrap. PLEASE NOTE: instruments should be
returned to the cassette in a neat and orderly fashion. Handpieces and their attachments should
be placed back in original peel pack and returned to the dispensary.
