Abstract
Biomedical waste (BMW) is a global issue today. Common producers of biomedical waste include hospitals, health clinics, nursing homes, medical research laboratories, offices of physicians, dentists, and veterinarians, home health care, and funeral homes. It must be properly managed to protect the general public, specifically healthcare and sanitation workers who are regularly exposed to biomedical waste as an occupational hazard. The materials used in prosthodontic dentistry are large in numbers. They are Impression Materials, Gypsum Products, Cements. And it was segregation according to colour code. If we want to protect our environment and health of community we must sensitize ourselves to this important issue not only in the interest of health managers but also in the interest of community.
