Patients and staff safety, protecting lives through infection control, revised in March 2020. Infection control is particularly important in dental clinics, as daily work protects patients' health, and comprehensive infection control measures help minimize the risk of in-hospital infections. Duerr Dental supports infection control in dental clinics from a hygiene perspective as a specialist in infection control. Dental clinics are at risk of infection from various pathogens that can harm health, and infection control is essential to eradicate pathogens and prevent infection. This booklet aims to deepen understanding of the importance of infection control and support improving the safety of dental clinic work environments. It explains the main pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and how they can cause infection through skin, mucous membranes, respiratory tract, or wounds. The booklet also provides information on representative pathogens, including bacteria, fungi, and viruses, and their characteristics.
