Programme Introduction
About this programme
🦷 Dental Practice
✅ Hands-On Skills
📋 Case-Based Learning
Dental practice involves close-contact procedures, aerosol generation, and shared equipment, all of which create real infection transmission risk between patients and staff if not managed correctly.
Effective dental IPC depends on validated sterilisation of instruments, consistent hand hygiene, careful management of dental unit waterlines, and correct PPE use throughout every procedure.
TerraLeap’s Dental IPC programme is designed for dentists, hygienists, dental assistants, and clinic managers, covering sterilisation, hand hygiene, waterline care, and PPE.
The programme covers validated instrument sterilisation procedures, hand hygiene practice specific to dental settings, dental unit waterline maintenance, and correct PPE selection for dental procedures.
Hands-on skill, clinical confidence — built for real dental practice.
