| Huber MA. Dental Care for Patients with Bleeding Disorders Bridgewater, NJ: Met Life; 2013 Mar. Available from: www.metdental.com Numerous routine dental therapies often cause some level of bleeding, which may be quickly and effectively controlled for most patients. However, for the patient with an underlying hematologic impairment, bleeding associated with dental therapy may lead to serious and potentially grave consequences. Fortunately, the majority of these patients are easily identified with a thorough medical history and clinical examination.1 The purpose of this guide is to briefly review: 1) the physiology of hemostasis; 2) types of hemostatic impairment, and; 3) a suggested protocol to identify and manage the dental patient with an increased bleeding risk. |
| Terezhalmy GT, Huber MA. Hypertension: Risk Stratification and Patient Management in Oral Healthcare Settings Mason, OH: Proctor & Gamble Health Care Research Center; 2012 Oct. Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/home.aspx Hypertension is the most common primary diagnosis in the United States. Based on the best available evidence, recommendations are provided on the safe delivery of dental care to patients with hypertension and on the pivotal role of oral healthcare providers in a hypertension-related preventive medicine program,
i.e., hypertension-related wellness program in the oral healthcare setting. |
| Huber MA, Terezhalmy GT. HBV and HCV: Infection Control/Exposure Control Issues for Oral Healthcare Workers Mason, OH: Proctor & Gamble Health Care Research Center; 2012 Sep. Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/home.aspx The predominant causes of viral hepatitis are
hepatitis A (HAV), hepatitis B (HBV), hepatitis
C (HCV), hepatitis D (HDV), hepatitis E (HEV), hepatitis G (HGV), and the transfusion transmissible virus (TTV). The main characteristics of these hepatotropic viruses
are listed in Table 1. Of these, viral hepatitis
associated with the hepatitis B has been
identified as a hazard in healthcare settings.
Since blood is also the major reservoir for the
HCV and the increasing prevalence of HCV
infections worldwide, the risk of healthcare associated exposure to this hepatotropic virus
has also become a significant concern. Factors
that influence the risk of occupational exposure
in healthcare settings include (1) the prevalence
of infection among the population served, (2) the
infection status of the source patient (i.e., the
circulating viral burden) to whom the healthcare
worker is exposed to, (3) the type and frequency
of parenteral or mucosal exposure to blood and
other potentially infectious body fluids, and (4)
the immunization status of the healthcare workers
(HCW). |
| Huber MA, Terezhalmy GT. Mandated and Highly Recommended Vaccines for Oral Healthcare Workers Mason, OH: Proctor & Gamble Health Care Research Center; 2012 Jan. Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/home.aspx Immunization strategies for OHCWs are predicated on (1) vaccines mandated or strongly recommended at the time of employment; (2) vaccine regimens that require booster doses; and (3) the availability of vaccines and other immunobiologics, which are administered to susceptible persons only in the event of inadvertent exposure to blood or other potentially infectious material (OPIM). Currently available knowledge related to vaccination strategies in healthcare settings is supported by data derived from well-conducted trials or extensive, controlled observations, or, in the absence of such data, by best-informed, most authoritative opinion available. |
| Huber MA,Terzhalmy GT. Squamous Cell Carcinoma of the Oral Tissues: A Comprehensive Review for Oral Healthcare Providers Mason. OH: Proctor & Gamble Health Care Research Center; 2012 Jan. Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/home.aspx North Americans in 2011 are projected to die from oral and pharyngeal cancer at a rate of 1.1 per hour. Oral healthcare providers can be instrumental in reducing the incidence of oral and pharyngeal premalignant and malignant lesions by identifying patients with high-risk behavior, educating their patients about the consequences of their high-risk behavior, and by early detection of premalignant and malignant conditions. The fact that only 33% of head and neck carcinomas were localized at the time of diagnosis and evidence that at least one third of the patients diagnosed with an oral or pharyngeal malignancy have undergone oral cancer screening within the past three years suggests the current protocol for the early detection of pre-malignant or malignant changes appears to be deficient. To facilitate early diagnosis, oral healthcare providers must take into consideration the capriciousness of oral cancer and must be familiar with the availability and application of diagnostic modalities beyond conventional visual inspection and palpation of oral soft tissues. |

Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/home.aspx Candidal infections commonly affect the dental professions anatomical area of responsibility and the diagnosis and management of such infections, to a great extent, fall in the purview of oral healthcare providers. To administer competent care to patients with candidal infections, clinicians must understand the disease, its treatment, the impact the disease or its treatment may have on the patient, and the extent to which the presence of a candidal infection may impact on the clinical process. |
| Huber MA, Terezhalmy GT. Adverse reactions to latex products: Preventive and therapeutic strategies 2010 Nov. Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/home.aspx Evidence-based infection control/exposure control practices are evolutionary in nature. Elements of historical note were first recorded with the suggestions of Lister for guidelines on aseptic procedures. Others, like Semmelweis, promoted the practice of hand washing by medical students and physicians prior to leaving autopsy suites and before entering the labor and delivery areas of hospitals. Halstead is credited with being the first to use surgical gloves in a clinical setting.3 While the use of latex surgical gloves became routine by the end of World War I, it wasnt until the adoption of universal precautions by the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention in 1987 that the use of gloves was officially expanded to cover virtually all aspects of patient care. Since then the ubiquitous use of latex gloves and other latex products in healthcare has resulted in a parallel increase in latex-associated adverse reactions. To provide for a safe
environment for both oral healthcare workers (OHCWs) and patients alike, clinicians must understand the basis for latex-related adverse reactions, recognize associated signs and symptoms, and initiate appropriate preventive and therapeutic strategies. The recommendations for preventing or minimizing latex-related
adverse reactions in the oral healthcare setting are based on current knowledge and a common sense
approach to the problem. |
| Terezhalmy GT, Huber MA. Environmental Infection Control in Oral Healthcare Settings Mason, OH: Proctor & Gamble Health Care Research Center; 2010 Sep. Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/home.aspx The environment (air, water, and fomites) in healthcare settings serves as a reservoir for many pathogens. While there are few reports clearly delineating a cause-and-effect with respect to environmental opportunistic organisms and healthcare-related infections, the strength of available evidence affirms that infection control strategies, when consistently implemented, are effective in preventing environmentally related healthcare-associated infections among susceptible patients and healthcare workers (HCWs). |
| Terezhalmy GT,Huber MA. Hand Hygiene: Infection control / exposure control issues for healthcare workers Mason, OH: Procter & Gamble Health Care Research Center; 2010 Mar. Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/soap/conteduc/index.htm The transmission of healthcare-associated pathogens most often occurs via the contaminated hands of healthcare workers (HCWs). Accordingly, hand hygiene is one of the most important infection control measures for preventing healthcare-associated infections. However, compliance by HCWs, including oral healthcare workers (OHCWs), with recommended hand hygiene practices remains low. The widespread availability of waterless, alcohol-based hand antiseptics is making this task easier. Alcohol-based hand hygiene products rapidly reduce bacterial counts on hands (with the exception of Clostridium difficile) and rapidly kill many fungi and viruses. Alcohol-based hand hygiene takes much less time than traditional hand
washing and is gentler on the hands than the repeated use of soap and water. Oral healthcare facilities are accountable for establishing a system in which OHCWs have the knowledge, competence, time, and tools to practice hand hygiene; and OHCWs have the duty to perform hand hygiene - perfectly and every time. |

Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/home.aspx The transmission of the HSV and VZV in healthcare settings has been documented and the consequences can be serious. The unique ability of these viruses to establish latency in a host further complicates the issue by providing for a constant reservoir of these viruses. |
| Huber MA, Terezhalmy GT. HIV: Infection control issues for oral healthcare personnel Mason, OH: Proctor & Gamble Health Care Research Center; 2009 Sep. Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/soap/conteduc/index.htm In the absence of an effective vaccine, exposure prevention is the primary strategy for reducing occupational exposure to HIV in the oral healthcare setting. Knowledge about potential risks and concise written procedures that promote a seamless response following occupational exposure can greatly reduce the emotional impact of an accidental percutaneous and, less frequently, mucocutaneous exposure to blood or other potentially infectious body fluids. |

Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/en-us/home.aspx While immunization programs have eliminated the endemic transmission of measles, mumps, and rubella in the United Sates, today, a substantial percentage of the remaining morbidity and mortality from these infectious diseases occurs in unvaccinated older adolescents and adults and the transmission of these viruses in healthcare settings has been documented. |
| Huber MA, Terezhalmy GT. Hepatotropic viruses: Infection control / exposure control issues for oral healthcare personnel Mason, OH: Proctor & Gamble Health Care Research Center; 2008 Jun. Available from: http://www.dentalcare.com/soap/conteduc/index.htm While exposure prevention remains the primary strategy for reducing occupational exposure to hepatotropic viruses, knowledge about potential risks and concise written procedures that promote a seamless response following occupational exposure can greatly reduce the emotional impact of such events.
There are seven recognized hepatotropic viruses. As a consequence of their parenteral mode of
transmission and ability to establish chronic infection, HBV, HDV, and HCV are of particular concern for oral healthcare workers (OHCWs). HAV and HEV are predominately spread via the fecal-oral route, do not lead to chronic infection, and are not associated with occupational exposure. The importance of occupational
exposure to the recently discovered HGV and TTV has not been established. This course presents a
hierarchy of preventive strategies to reduce the risk of occupational exposure and management protocols of OHCWs potentially exposed to HBV, HDV, and HCV. |
