| An effective, rapid-acting environmental surface disinfectant, or chemical sterilant. | Chlorine Dioxide |
| Term for the surface touched by contaminated hands, instruments, or spatter during dental treatment; a division of Environmental Surfaces. | Clinical Contact Surface |
| Term for the chemical used to reduce or lower the numbers of microorganisms on inanimate objects. | Disinfectant |
| Term for the surface in the facility that is not directly involved with patient care, but may become contaminated during the course of treatment; ex countertops/floors/walls/control panels. | Environmental Surface |
| Term for a product capable of killing fungi. | Fungicidal |
| The high-level disinfectant registered by the EPA. | Glutaraldehyde |
| Term for minimizing the environmental impact of infection control products and procedures. | Greener Infection Control |
| The hospital disinfectant with tuberculocidal activity. | High-Level Disinfectant |
| The disinfectant with the ability to kill Staphylococcus, Salmonella, and Pseudomonas. | Hospital Disinfectant |
| The division of Environmental Surface that is not contaminated during the dental treatment; ex floors/walls. | Housekeeping Surface |
| The disinfectant used for immersion (soaking) of heat-sensitive intruments. | Immersion Disinfectant |
| The liquid disinfectant with EPA registration as a hospital disinfectant with tuberculocidal activity; used in disinfecting operatory surfaces. | Intermediate-Level Disinfectant |
| A type of EPA registered, intermediate-level hospital disinfectant. | Iodophor |

| The process that kills all microorganisms. | Sterilization |
| Term for the fluid-resistant material used to cover surfaces likely to become contaminated. | Surface Barrier |
| Term for the EPA registered intermediate-level hospital disinfectant with broad-spectrum disinfecting action. | Synthetic Phenol Compound |
| The surface directly touched and contaminated during procedures. | Touch Surface |
| The surface not directly touched but often contacted by contaminated instruments. | Transfer Surface |
