    Guidelines vs. Standards in Dental IPAC: Does the Difference Matter?

    In the world of dental infection prevention and control (IPAC), the terms *guidelines* and *standards* are often used as if they mean the same thing. But should they be? And more importantly … does it matter?

    Yes, it matters. A lot.

    What's the Difference?

    Standards are formal, enforceable requirements set by regulatory bodies. They are the minimum expectations for safe and ethical practice. Meeting these standards is not optional—they are legally binding, and failing to comply can lead to professional consequences, including disciplinary action or loss of license.

    Guidelines, on the other hand, are recommendations. They are typically developed by public health agencies, expert panels, or research organizations. While not enforceable on their own, guidelines represent current best practices and offer direction on how to implement standards effectively and safely.

    Step Wedges Still Matter: Why Your Dental Office Needs This Simple QA Tool

    In today’s high-tech dental world, quality assurance (QA) often brings to mind automated sensors and software calibration. But there's one old-school, low-tech tool that remains just as essential as ever: the step wedge. Health Canada’s Safety Code 30 and best practice guidelines still recommend regular use of this tool to ensure your dental radiography systems are functioning correctly (Health Canada, 2022).

    The Financial Impact of Operatory Closures in an IPAC Lapse: Why Compliance is Essential

    What is the Financial Worth of Each Operatory?

    Every operatory in a dental practice represents a significant source of revenue. Based on minimum daily production estimates:

    • A hygiene operatory generates at least $1,800 per day.
    • A DDS operatory generates at least $3,000 per day.

    Beyond direct production, every operatory also carries associated labour costs. In this analysis, we account for:

    • Registered Dental Hygienists (RDH) @ $400 per day
    • Certified Dental Assistants (CDA) @ $200 per day
    • Administrative staff (Admin) @ $200 per day

    This basic model does not include:

    • Percentages paid to associate dentists
    • Salaries for office managers
    • Additional costs for percentages paid to specialists
