Abstract

Background:Dentistry is growing rapidly around the world. There is an increasing number of dental health service facilities across the country. The quality of dental health and patient care has improved, but on the other hand, it has produced a large amount of medical waste. The amount of medical waste poses potential health risks and damage to the environment, if it isn't managed properly.

Objective: To evaluate the management of medical waste in dental hospitals and dental clinics in terms of management aspects (input, process, output).

Methods: This study was done with a systematic review method.

Results and Discussion: The result of research data found 348 articles then filtered according to the research criteria so that 25 articles were obtained. The input category for medical waste management in dental hospitals was lacking in terms of training for waste management officers and the foundation of infrastructures, especially personal protective equipment. The process category in dental hospitals, namely medical waste, has not all been disaggregated and the storage time exceeded the standard. The output category in dental hospitals showed that not all dental hospitals did the separation according to the category and there was no data on waste reduction. The input category for medical waste management in dental clinics was lacking in terms of training, infrastructure advice, POSs and funding. Process categories in dental clinics were not up to standard including reduction, sorting, storage and transportation of medical waste. The output category in the dental clinics showed not all did the separation according to the category and there was no waste reduction.

Conclusion: Dental hospitals and dental clinics have not fully implemented the recommendations of WHO (2014) and Regulation of the Minister of Environment and Forestry of the Republic of Indonesia Number 56 of 2015 regarding medical waste management.
