Abstract :

Any waste generated consequent to health care activity, from an environment point of view, is health care waste. Dental practices generate large amounts of dental waste which is of environmental concern. Adequate knowledge, information of handling, treatment and disposal of biomedical wastes are important elements of dental health care. Dental waste management can be effective and an efficient compliance-related practice. This review article discusses about some common wastes produced by dental offices and provides practical suggestions for reducing the impact of our profession on the environment.
