The World Health Organization (WHO) draft global action plan for infection prevention and control (2024–2030) underscores the critical need for comprehensive infection prevention and control (IPC) programmes at local, national, and regional levels. ��������'s Health and Safety in the Dental Workplace – Phase III project serves as a vital resource, offering the most up-to-date information and guidance on implementing effective IPC measures in dental clinics worldwide. 

The latest resource released as part of the project is an International Dental Journal Supplement, which delivers crucial insights and knowledge on IPC strategies specific to dental practices.
