Why it matters for dental
Dental practices already compliant with the 2022 CDC guidelines see no new infection-control mandates to implement, sparing owners and staff the cost and workflow disruption of revising sterilization, PPE, or surface-disinfection protocols.
Key points

- Practices can continue current OSHA-compliant protocols without immediate change.
- No effective date or implementation window is specified for dentistry in the update.
