Sterilization Standards Unpacked - What's Next for Dental Sterilization?

Where are Canada's dental sterilization standards headed next? In this series finale of "Sterilization Standards Unpacked," we're joined by Leeanne Ismail, Clinical Sterilization Specialist at Solventum, to look ahead at the future of dental reprocessing. From digital traceability and rapid-read BIs to maintenance programs and smarter tracking tools, Leeanne shares how technology is reshaping safety and accountability in clinics across Canada. She also highlights the push toward more consistent expectations between provinces—and what that means for teams trying to keep up. If you've been wondering what the "next chapter" of dental sterilization could look like, this conversation connects the dots! This 5-part series pulls back the curtain on how Canadian dental teams are translating sterilization standards into real-world practice—one guideline, one cycle, one patient at a time. With each episode, we'll explore the people, processes, and evolving expectations driving dental sterilization forward. It's not about compliance checklists—it's about connection, clarity, and conversations that make the technical feel personal.
