Look over order of PPE
transmissions of HIV/AIDs and exposure control. it's kind of obvious but make sure you know it. Review all bold items in notes and patient reception and ergonomic practice!

Terms

undefined, object
copy deck
Trendelenburg
patient is in the supine position and tipped back and down 35 degrees to 45 degrees so heart is higher than head
Founder of dental hygiene
Alfred C Fones
HHV5 Cytomegalovirus (HCMV)
transmitted neonatal and excreted in urine, saliva, cervical secretions and semen. blood transfusions and transplants
critical surface category
penetrates soft tissue or bone so it must be sterilized or disposed of
Spatter
Airborne infection: particles greater than 50um in diameter, and are visible
ADPIE
The dental hygiene process of care
Secondary prevention
Involves the treatments of early disease to preventfurther progress of potentially irreversible conditions. EX: removal of all calculus and dental biofilm
Chemical Vapor sterilizer
A combination of alcohols, formaldehyde, ketone, water and acetone heated under pressre produces a gas that is effective as a sterilizing agent
Microorganisms in oral cavity- origin
oral cavity sterile in utero, after birth, a simple oral flora develops
Clinical attire(PPE) includes:
gown/uniform, hair/head covering, outside wear and mask.
HHV4 Epstein-Barr Virus (EBV)
mononucleosis
E
Evaluate(feedback on effectiveness)
Hepatitis A virus
Most commonly occuring viral hepatitis. Transmission by fecal-oral route, waterborne and food-borne and by blood. Incubation period: 15-45 days (avg. is 30 days) and infection is communicable at this point.
Neutral seated position of your wrists
forearm and wrists are in a straight line.
Semicritical surface category
touches intanct mucous membranes, oral fluids and does not penetrate. Must sterilize after each use or high-level disinfectant
Neutral seated position of your elbows
close to the body
Neutral seated position of your shoulders
relaxed and parallel with the floor
Objective of handwashing
to reduce the bacterial flora of the hands to an absolute minimum
Direct supervision
The dentist is in the dental office, personally diagnoses the condition to be treated, personally authorize the procedure and before dismissal evualtes the performance of the dental professional
The mask does not filter
mycobacterium tuberculosis
Hepatitis D virus
cannot cause infection except in the presence of HBV infection
General supervision
The dentist has prior knowledge and has given consent for the procedures being performed during which the dentist is not required to be present in the office or premise
Dry Heat
primarily used for materials that cannot safetly be sterilized with steam under pressure
Plan
The selection of interventions to be performed by the patient, dental hygienist, or others to meet the needs of the patient in attaining oral health
Dental Hygiene diagnosis
Provides basis on which the dental hygiene care plan is designed, implemented and evaluated
Categories of Disinfectants
High level, intermediate level and low level
Noncritical surface category
Does not touch mucous membranes so clean use a tuberculocidal intermediate level disinfectant
Implementation
The activation of care plan
Dust-borne organisms
Airborne infection- microorganisms travel in the dust brought in from outside and that moves in and about dental treatment areas
A
assesment(data collection)
The chemical indicator on the package means
the autoclave has reached designated temp, DOES NOT designate sterilization
High level disinfectant
Inactivates spores and all forms of bacteria, fungi and viruses
Factors that alter normal defenses
Abnormal physical conditions, systemic diseases, drug therapy and prostheses and transplants
Principle drugs for Tuberculosis
Isoniazid, Pyrazinamide, Rifampin and ethambutol
Essential features for disease transmission
1. Infectious agent 2. reservoirs 3. port of exit 4. transmission 5. port of entry and a susceptible host
HHV3 Varicell-Zoster Virus (VZV)
varicella (chicken pox) and zoster (shingles)
Two types of assesment data
subjective and objective data
Core values in dental hygiene
Individual autonomy, confidentiality, societal trust, beneficence, nonmaleficence,justice and veracity
Basic steps in recirculation of instruments
1. dirty instruments from clinical use 2. Instrument cleaning(thermal disinfection or ultrasonic) 3. Rinse and dry 4. package 5. seal. 6. Sterilize
Subjective data
Obtained by observation and interaction with the patient
Tuberculosis(Mycobacterium tuberculosis)
Transmitted by inhalation of tubercle bacilli. Organisms are disseminated from sputum and saliva of the infected. Incubation period may be as long as 10 weeks. Standard precautions are not sufficient for this.
Herpetic Whitlow
HSV1 : herpes simplex infection of the finger
Factors that influence the development of infection
number of organisms and duration of exposure, virulence, immune status of the host and genral physical health of the host
Herpes Simplex Virus Type 1 (HSV1)
may be isolated to gingiva, most commonly found on vermillion border of lower lip. Lesions are infectious
Upright position
initial position from which chair adjustments are made
all roles of dental hygienist are considered to be _______ within the context of improving the public's health by promoting oral health
Interrelated
Neutral seated position of your head
on top of neutral spine with forward neck flexion between 15-20 degrees or less
Assessment
Provides a foundation for patient care by collecting both subjective and objective data
Objective data
Measurable and factual
Primary prevention
refers to measures carried out so that disease does not occur and is truly prevented. EX: the use of fluorides
recommended chemical agents used for dentistry
Glutaraldehydes, chlorine compounds, Iodophors and complex/combination Phenolics
Semi-upright position
patients with certain types of cardiovascular, respiratory or vertigo proplems may need this position
Low level disinfectant
Inactivates vegetative bacteria and certain lipid-type viruses but do not destroy spores, tubercle bacilli or non-lipid viruses
dental hygiene was founded in
1906
I
Implement(activating plan)
supine
flat position: brain on same level as heart: supports circulation and is used for most treatment procedures
Evaluation
Used to determine if the patient needs to be re-treated
Intermediate level disinfectant
Inactivates all forms of microorganisms but do not destroy spores
Hepatitis B Virus
Serious occupational hazard for healthcare personnel. Transmission by ONLY blood, saliva, semen and vaginal fluids. Incubation period is 2-6 months (avg. is 60-90 days)
Sterilization methods
moist heat, dry heat and chemical vapor sterilizer
Areosols
Airborne infection: less than 50 um in diameter, invisible and are breathed into the lungs
Tertiary prevention
Uses methods to replace lost tissues and to rehabilitate the oral cavity to a level where funtion is near normal as possible. EX: replacement of a missing tooth using a fixed or partial denture.
Moist heat ( Steam under pressure)
causes proteins to coagulate. Sterilization is achieved by action of heat and moisture; pressure serves only to attain high temp
roles of a dental hygienist
Clinician, educator, administrator/manager, advocate and researcher
Forms of chemical disinfectants
1. Surface disinfectants 2. Immersion disinfectants 3. Immersion disinfectants 4. Hand antimicrobials
Hepatitis E virus
Transmission like those of HAV
HHV2 Herpes Simplex Virus type 2 (HSV2)
AKA genital herpes but also occurs as an oral and perioral infection. Prodomal state may be the most contagious
General positions of patient
upright, semi-upright, supine and trendelenburg
Hepatitis C Virus
Transmission by non-percutaneous routes and percutaneous exposure and transfusion. No vaccine available. May have no clinical symptoms.
D
Dental hygiene diagnosis(problem id)
Indirect supervision
The dentist is in the office, authorizes the procedures and remains in the office while the procedures are being performed by the allied dental professional
Ocular Herpes
HSV1: transmission via splashing saliva or fluid from a vesicular lesion directly into an unprotected eye.
1st dental hygienist
