Journal Title: International Journal of Advanced Research (IJAR) - Year 2019, Vol 7, Issue 7
Abstract
Aim: Our aim was to come forward and provide recommendations to Prosthodontist, Endodontist and Radiologist on the issue of biomedical waste management i.e. management of waste generated by them. Material & Method: A thorough computer search using PubMed, Google Scholar, Wikipedia and Yahoo search engine, search through cross-references and hand search in the libraries was performed.With this agroup of practitioner, academic scholars and other prominent persons of the field were consulted and a questioneare was designed. Their after the recommendations were drafted. Results: Biomedical waste likeImpression materials waste, Titanium based waste, Metal based waste, Zinc based waste, Gypsum based waste, Resin based waste and Ceramic waste, need a very precise and specific management. Conclusion: Mishandling of biomedical waste (both infected and non-infected) is a growing problem for our self and society. Lack of awareness is adding a big amount of fuel to this fire. If proper segregation, collection, transportation and final disposal protocols are followed from the point of generation (keeping in mind the harmful effects on our self and our environment), we can reduce a lot of non-infected waste turning to infected ones and contribute in the safety of generations to come.
