Relationships among and demographic predictors of dentists' self-reported adherence to national guidelines

Outbreak of bacterial endocarditis associated with an oral surgery practice

“…Studies have shown that enrollment in educational courses and attendance at continuing dental education programs and professional meetings regarding infection prevention had positive effects on dentists' and oral surgeons' infection prevention practices. [42][43][44][45][46] Trainings that emphasize implementation of infection prevention practices are more effective when offered in different formats (for example, Internet-based learning, journal articles, and workshops). 47,48 Requiring continuing dental education credits for infection prevention specifically as a part of licensure or license renewal might be considered to ensure continued dissemination of national guidelines.…”

Advancing infection control in dental care settings

“…Study results have shown that using multiple modes of instruction regarding implementation of guidelines, particularly those that involve active participation, has been more effective than using single modes. 19,21 The number of dental meetings attended per year, 26 enrollment in educational courses 27 and attendance at CDE programs about infection control -specifically, more than six hours in the preceding two years 22,23 -all had a positive effect on dentists' guideline implementation. Our findings that guideline implementation was associated with the number of modes of infection control instruction a practitioner uses (workshops, journal articles, Internet-based learning) are consistent with the results of these previous reports.…”
