Green Sustainable Dentistry- “Fairytale or Reality”
The approach to manage dental practice, whether we talk about big clinics or a small practice, nowadays does not include only clinical knowledge and basics of buisness. The complexity of managing health institution, in this case dental institution, more and more must be covered through sustainability. For that reason, more than often, we see the term „green dentistry“. Sustainability of dental practice does not affect only ecological-green sustainability, such as our planet, but it also encourages us to transfer that positive element on our patients. There are number of tools to apply in introducing the „green dentistry“ and sustainability in our supply chains, employees, investment cycles, communication with patients and in design of our dental health institution. The term sustainability also implies the spreading the idea of sustainability on dental industry and on all of the participants of the dental service market. With this lecture, through didactic way, there will be presented goals, challenges and results of immplementation of „green dentistry“, that can serve to every doctor of dental medicine in its dental practice.
