Feeling overwhelmed by Canada's newest dental sterilization standards? You're not alone. In this kickoff episode of our newest podcast series "Sterilization Standards Unpacked: Navigating Canada's Dental Guidelines," host Sarah B. Cruz takes us back to basics with a clear, practical look at who writes the standards, how they're enforced, and why they don't always look the same from province to province. Along the way, she breaks down the most common points of confusion for dental teams and explains how to begin building a more consistent, compliant approach to reprocessing. If your practice is ready to move from "we think we're compliant" to "we know we are," this episode is the place to start!

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.

The dreaded missing indicator—you've trained on it, created systems for it, and yet trays still reach the OR without them. What if technology could catch that mistake before the tray ever leaves your department? On this episode of Beyond Clean, Gregory Warino, Director of Central Sterile Processing at Mercy Health, shares how his team used AI to tackle missing CIs across three facilities. From getting skeptical staff on board to watching the technology actually catch missing indicators before trays leave assembly, Gregory breaks down the real story behind implementing AI in SPD—from what it cost, how long it took, and whether the tech lived up to the hype. If missing indicators are a pain point in your department or you're curious about what AI means for your SPD's workflows, this episode has the answers you need!
