Abstract

In contemporary Oral and Maxillofacial surgery, intricate surgical and aesthetic treatments are performed, which are accompanied by a higher likelihood of infection complications. Thus, in order to guarantee improved results of the surgical treatments, it is imperative that adequate measures are implemented to reduce the occurrence of related infections. The infection control practices encompass meticulous scrubbing techniques for both the patient and the operator, adherence to specific protocols by the operating personnel during procedures, careful handling of instruments, and the maintenance of an aseptic environment throughout the entire procedure. The primary objective of this chapter is to present details regarding the preoperative, operative, and post-operative protocols that must be followed to enhance the safety of patients having surgical procedures.
