Le regole di gestione dello studio odontoiatrico: rischio biologico e sicurezza sul lavoro

Objectives: Comprehensive continuing medical education programs in dentistry are difficult to achieve because of the extreme complexity of a dental practice and the multiple roles played by the dentist. As a result, dentists may not always be informed on one of the crucial points of their daily activity: professional risk management. The aim of this paper is to present up-to-date scientific data that can guide the dentist in this fundamental sector of dental practice. Materials and methods: Professional risk is a key aspect of every job. Continuing education is essential to keep dentists abreast of the developments in this field, such as the introduction of specific laws. This article analyzes the various types of professional risk and their implications for office management to provide dentists with the fundamental concepts needed for safe, rational management of their dental practice. Conclusions: In-depth understanding of the different types of professional risk and the appropriate distribution of duties between the members of the office staff constitute the basis for a safe, unflustered dental practice.
