Educational Objectives

After completing this webinar, participants will be able to:
• Understand the need for regulation on amalgam
• Demonstrate the ADA’s Best Management Practices on the handling of amalgam waste
• Utilize the 4 components required to meet the regulation requirements

Abstract

The EPA “Dental Rule” regulation on the proper handling of amalgam waste went into effect July 2020. It is widely known that the installation of an ISO 11143 Amalgam Separator is a key component of the regulation, however, there is more to compliance than just the amalgam separator. We’d like to help alleviate the guesswork and have broken down the regulation into four simple steps in this ½ hour webinar.
