Abstract

Introduction. A risk of transmission of infectious diseases has always been an inherent part of dental practice. Easily communicable respiratory and blood borne diseases have prompted dental communities to establish, evaluate, update and monitor infection prevention and control (IPAC) protocols and strategies (guidelines). The aim of this paper was to present Canadian standard protocols of infection prevention and control in dental offices, and compare them with similar guidelines available to dentists in Serbia. Method. A detailed overview of the most current IPAC guidelines and protocols provided by the College of Dental Surgeons of British Columbia in Canada has been summarized. In addition, the effect of the most recent Covid-19 pandemic on the current infection prevention and control measures in dental offices and future perspectives has been reviewed. Conclusion. Implementing infection prevention and control guidelines is essential part of practicing dentistry. Regulatory authorities have responsibility to establish and provide dentist with the most current IPAC protocols while dentists need to adopt up-to-date procedures and appropriately and consistently use them in everyday practice.

牙科感染预防和控制方案。加拿大指南

介绍。传染病传播的风险一直是牙科实践的固有部分。容易传染的呼吸道和血液传播疾病促使牙科社区建立、评估、更新和监测感染预防和控制(IPAC)协议和战略(准则)。本文的目的是提出加拿大牙科诊所感染预防和控制的标准协议，并将其与塞尔维亚牙医可用的类似指南进行比较。方法。对加拿大不列颠哥伦比亚省牙科外科学院提供的最新IPAC指南和协议进行了详细概述。此外，还综述了最近一次Covid-19大流行对牙科诊所当前感染防控措施的影响以及未来的展望。结论。实施感染预防和控制指南是牙科执业的重要组成部分。监管机构有责任建立并向牙医提供最新的IPAC协议，而牙医需要采用最新的程序，并在日常实践中适当和一致地使用它们。
