Online "mall" is a way for dental professionals to find solutions to their infection control and safety challenges.

ANNAPOLIS, Maryland--The Organization for Safety and Asepsis Procedures has created a way for dental professionals to find solutions to their infection control and safety challenges: the OSAP Dental Safety Mall.

The online mall features storefronts such as a bookstore, travel agency, novelty store, even an outlet, in addition to a Consultants Plaza, Educators Plaza, and Patient Depot. The mall can be accessed directly at OSAP Dental Safety Mall.

The OSAP Dental Safety Mall provides a shopping cart function and allows online payment for purchases. Shoppers can choose from training tools such as the "If Saliva Were Red" DVD, handwashing and latex allergy charts, CE programs, materials for educators and trainers, patient educational materials, even novelties such as a tie with dental plaque motif.

In addition to academic texts, the bookstore offers favorites such as The Andromeda Strain and Guns, Germs & Steel. OSAP is seeking additional recommendations. Visitors can suggest a book using an e-mail link in the bookstore.

The dental safety mall offers an easy way to access current information and compliance tools, some in downloadable formats. The materials are updated and new resources added, so bookmarking the site for access is advisable.
