Modes of Transmission
The Centers for Disease as:
Other Potentially Infectious Materials Occupational Safety and Health Administration
Transmission of bloodborne pathogens through the skin via a cut, human bite, abrasion or any break in the skin.
A sharps injury that penetrates through the skin
Coming in contact with mucous membranes such as eyes or the mouth Personal Protective Equipment
Life-long members of the body’s normal microbial community Remaining in place only a brief time
Control (CDC) describe the primary modes of transmission in dentistry
• Direct Contact
• Indirect Contact
• Droplet Infection
• Airborne Infection
• Parenteral Transmission
• Bloodborne Transmission
• Oral-Fecal Transmission
• Food and Water Transmission
These terms address the ways in which disease can be transmitted from one host to another, from person to person and may involve both direct and indirect pathways. A critical step for healthcare workers to address disease transmission is through simple hand washing. This is a critical step in reducing the transmission of microbes in the healthcare setting. Routine hand washing removes most of the transient microbes and some of the resident microbes.
Hazard Communication Program in a Dental Office
Every dental office is required by OSHA to have a written Hazard Communication Program. To comply with the Standard, the dental office must develop and implement a written compliance program consistent with the requirements specific to California.
