The IABDM course, “PROTECT Protocol Provider for Dental Professionals,” offers a comprehensive online e-learning experience. This course encompasses all facets of dental mercury, from its controversial history and FDA classification as a medical device to the ADA’s steadfast promotion of the product. This course will also include detailed instruction on safe mercury amalgam filling removal. Participants will gain insights into government regulations and requirements for the use of amalgam, as well as the exposure risks and potential harm to patients, dental staff, and the environment.
Each lesson includes resources such as videos, presentations, and reading materials to educate you on the practice of safe mercury amalgam removal. Upon completing the course, you will be required to create a presentation and schedule an oral presentation demonstrating documented proof of implementing the safety procedures learned, along with all of the necessary equipment to perform the PROTECT protocol for safe mercury amalgam removal.
After successfully completing the course and meeting all requirements, you will receive a PROTECT Protocol Certificate of Completion from the IABDM and be listed on our website as a PROTECT Protocol Provider. The IABDM also encourages staff members to pursue our Biological RDA/Staff Certification, fostering a cohesive level of knowledge within the dental office by ensuring that integral staff members have completed much of the same coursework.
