Workshop Plan for Digitally Recorded Lesson:
WORKSHOP Goal – Maintaining a Chain of Asepsis in the Dental Office Instructor: Kathryn Truant CDA |
Total time: 30 min. |
||
Workshop Outcomes: The student will identify the lifespan of pathogens on hard surfaces, apply new knowledge in a simulated clinical environment, and create a strategy for clinical application. | |||
Prior Learning: Certified Dental Assistant or Certified Dental Assisting Student | |||

Instructor Activities | Student Activities | Resources | Time |
Opening Strategies:LOCATION: Classroom
– Introduce topic – State the facts: How long infectious pathogens live on hard surfaces and how to prevent cross contamination Pre-Assessment: – Introduce relatable experience to encourage dialogue and to help learners identify with lesson Examples: – Encourage students to share prior experiences |

5 min. | |
Presentation – Lecture, Demonstration, and Practice: – Explain best practices regarding gloves
– Solicit volunteers to participate in demonstration at the front of the class – Direct the remaining students to participate from their seats – Demonstrate the opening of a surgical tray for an aseptic dental procedure e.g. frenectomy – Direct participants to ‘blow the whistle’ when instructor breaks the chain of asepsis – Make mistakes! |
– Listen
– Volunteer – Participate – Pay attention to demonstration – Indicate when instructor breaks the chain of asepsis |
– whistles, party horns
– masks, gloves, safety glasses, sterile surgical tray, sterile disposables |
15 min. |
