In order to prevent the transmission of microorganisms and disease requires breaking the chain of infection. This entails performing a series of repeatable and sequential steps for effective infection prevention. The CDC recommendations on infection control for the dental setting include Standard Precautions that should be followed on a daily basis and includes procedures to be performed at the beginning of the day, before and after treating each patient and at the end of the day.
