About these resources

Basic Expectations for Safe Care Modules (BESC) complements CDC's Summary of Infection Prevention Practices in Dental Settings: Basic Expectations for Safe Care, and was developed to increase adherence to established infection prevention practices. This material does not provide a certificate of completion.

The slide series is divided into 10 modules, including an introduction, seven elements of Standard Precautions, as well as dental unit water quality and program evaluation. Each module includes a slide set and speaker notes that can be used to educate infection prevention coordinators, educators, consultants, and other dental health care personnel.
