Notice of Intended Regulatory Action (NOIRA) 5505
 

There are currently extensive guidelines from both the CDC and OSHA related to infection control in dental offices. As of currently, I am unaware of cases originating in dental offices and therefore recommend against increased documentation of training for dental assistants which would lead to an unnecessary increase in costs to the patients.
