National Institutes of Health (DHHS), Bethesda, MD. and Isman, Beverly

Abstract

The purpose of this Toolkit is to provide guidance, technical tools, and resources to help states, territories, tribes and communities develop and implement successful oral health components of Healthy People 2010 plans as well as other oral health plans. These plans are useful for: (1) promoting, implementing and tracking oral health objectives; (2) educating the public and policymakers about oral health needs and disparities; and (3) leveraging resources for oral health-related programs and activities. The Toolkit consists of six chapters: (1) Overview of the Oral Health Toolkit and History of Healthy People Initiatives and HP 2010; (2) Building the Foundation: Leadership and Structure; (3) Setting Health Priorities, Establishing Oral Health Objectives and Obtaining Baseline Data; (4) Identifying and Leveraging Resources; (5) Communicating Oral Health Goals and Objectives; and (6) Implementing Strategies, Managing and Sustaining the Process, and Measuring Progress. Each chapter includes: background information; checklists and/or worksheets; tips for success; national, state/territorial, tribal or community examples; and resources and references for further information. [The HP 2010 Oral Health Toolkit builds upon and uses material from "Healthy People Toolkit 2010: A Field Guide for Health Planning" developed by the Public Health Foundation (PHF) in 1999 with funding from the Office of Disease Prevention and Health Promotion of the US Department of Health and Human Services (USDHHS). It was produced by the National Institute of Dental and Craniofacial Research, National Institutes of Health, USDHHS.]

Abstract

Dental healthcare workers (DHWs) are at risk for occupational exposure to bloodborne pathogens (BBPs). The Occupational Safety and Health Administration Bloodborne Pathogens Standard requires employers to have a written exposure control plan (ECP) detailing methods and means to reduce and manage occupational BBP exposures. Because little information is available on whether ECPs are created and used, the National Institute for Occupational Safety and Health and the Organization for Safety, Asepsis and Prevention conducted an online survey to determine if dental practices had an ECP, whether present ECPs had the necessary components, and if impediments existed to prevent having an ECP in place. Respondents were primarily from nonfranchised practices (69%) and dentists who owned the practice (63%). Seventy-two percent of survey participants had an ECP, and 20% were unaware of any federal requirements for an ECP prior to the survey. Engineering controls were used by many practices, although the type varied. Fifteen percent of practices did not offer the hepatitis B vaccine for employees. The survey revealed many dental practices were unaware of or were lacking required elements of the ECP. Findings from this survey indicate DHWs would benefit from increased education regarding methods to prevent occupational exposures to BBPs.
