Reason(s) course is offered: This course is required for professional degree and certificate programs such as nursing and dental hygiene; it is an elective for the biology degree. This course is transferable to the CSU and UC and provides credit in the following areas (A1 OC GE, B3 CSU GE; 5C IGETC). C. Reason(s) for current outline revision: In this revision, prerequisites are being modified so that they are listed for each prior course in complete (Math, Biology, English, Physiology and Anatomy). Students are entering the OC Micro course without all the prerequisites because they took these courses at other schools that have different sequential prerequisite series. The textbook was also updated. D. C-ID: 1. C-ID Descriptor: 2. C-ID Status: E. Co-listed as: Current: None Previous: II. Catalog Information: A. Units: Current: 2.00 Previous: 2.00 B.

  • Infection Control in Dentistry: How to Asepsis Photographic Mirrors?
    Infection control in dentistry: how to asepsis photographic mirrors? Amanda Osório Ayres de Freitas* Mariana Marquezan* Giselle Naback Lemes Vilani* Rodrigo César Santiago* Luiz Felipe de Miranda Costa* Sandra Regina Torres** Abstract: The aim of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of six different methods of disinfection and sterilization of intra­oral photographic mirrors through microbiological testing and to analysis their potential harm to mirrors’ surface. Fourteen occlusal mirrors were divided into seven groups. Group 1 comprised two mirrors as received from manufacturer. The other six groups comprised mirrors disinfected/sterilized by autoclave, immersion in enzymatic detergent, and friction with chlorhexidine detergent, chlorhexidine wipes, common detergent and 70% ethylic alcohol. Microbiological and quality surface analyses were performed. Sterilization in autoclave was microbiologic effective, but caused damage to the mirror surface. Chlorhexidine (in wipes or detergent) and liquid soap were effective disinfectant agents for photographic mirrors decontamination, without harmful effect on its surface. Enzymatic detergent immersion and friction with 70% ethylic alcohol were not effective as disinfectant agents for photographic mirrors decontamination. According to the results, the more effective and safe methods for photographic mirrors disinfection were friction with chlorhexidine wipes or detergent, as well as liquid soap. Results, the most efficacious methods for photographic mirrors disinfection were friction with chlorhexidine wipes and detergent, as well as common detergent.

PRINCIPLES OF MEDICAL ASEPSIS All body fluids from any patient should be considered contaminated • Body fluids can be the source of infection for the patient and you • Utilize appropriate personal protective equipment (PPE) • When performing patient care, work from cleanest to dirtiest patient area.
