Oral Cancer: A Focus on Prevention

3 Credit Hours

Wednesday Jun 12th, 2024
at 6:00 PM ET

This course will provide the oral health care team with tools to help identify oral potentially malignant disorders (PMDs). These PMDs are almost always present and visible before an HPV-negative oral squamous cell carcinoma (OSCC) develops; therefore, detection of these PMDs is vital in improving the lives of those affected by PMDs and oral cancer in this country.

We will spend a great deal of time discussing leukoplakia, as this is the most common way in which oral PMDs present. The goal of the oral health care professional is to "catch" oral cancer before it develops; therefore, we will primarily discuss how to manage leukoplakia and what we can do for our patients to help lower their risk for developing an OSCC.

Challenge of Waterborne Infections in Healthcare Facilities

3 Credit Hours

Tuesday Jun 18th, 2024
at 6:00 PM ET

Infections caused by waterborne microorganisms are among the most harmful to global health. These include diseases caused by a variety of bacteria, protozoa, viruses, and other parasites. They can proliferate in many natural water sources, as well as man-made systems designed to provide potable water for public and healthcare use. An initial overview of the principles and epidemiology associated with waterborne infections will be presented, followed by discussion of representative, clinically important pathogens, and the challenges they present to medical and dental facilities. Emphasis will focus on microbial challenges presented by bacteria found in dental water sources which have been documented as causes of infections in dental patients, including Pseudomonas, Legionella, and nontuberculous Mycobacteria (NTM) species. Comprehensive infection prevention recommendations also will be included as preventive procedures and protocols for controlling colonization of dental treatment water. Overall, this seminar is aimed at providing clinical microbiology concepts and relevant information needed to protect patients and personnel against waterborne infection in clinical settings.
