INNOVATION AND SUSTAINABILITY: HOW DID A JUNIOR DENTISTRY COMPANY ACHIEVE THESE GOALS?

Abstract

Climate change, driven by human activities, has caused serious impacts on natural and human systems, demanding sustainable practices, including in dentistry. UEM's Junior Dentistry Enterprise created an Ecopoint for the disposal of used toothbrushes, aiming to promote environmental awareness and the reuse of materials. This article discusses the implementation of the Ecopoint, its environmental and social effects, and how this initiative can inspire other sustainable actions in the area.
