This one-hour continuing education course examines the often-overlooked role of examination gloves in cross-contamination within dental and clinical settings. Participants will explore current evidence on contamination pathways associated with glove use, including risks during dispensing, donning, and patient care. The course highlights research-supported techniques and workflow strategies that reduce contamination transfer, while also addressing environmental and ergonomic factors that influence proper glove usage. Attendees will leave with practical, evidence-based approaches to improve infection control outcomes and enhance clinical safety.
Learning Objectives
Upon completion of this webinar, participants will be able to:
- Analyze common pathways of glove-related cross-contamination identified in current infection control literature.
- Evaluate evidence-based techniques for glove dispensing, donning, and doffing that reduce microbial transfer.
- Identify environmental and workflow factors that contribute to increased contamination risk during glove use.
- Apply research-supported strategies to modify clinical workflows and minimize glove-related contamination events.
