Sterilization: Scare of
hepatitis B-C and HIV has made people
very conscious of the fact that dental instruments
are one of the major reasons for the spread of these
infections. At The Dental Clinic strict measures are
taken to maintain high standards of sterilization
and disinfection. Autoclaving is the procedure in which
instruments are sterilized with steam at 121 degrees
centigrade at 15 psi pressure which even kills the
spore (eggs) of the bacteria. Apart from that,
disinfecting solutions and glass bead sterilizers
are also used. The instruments are stored in air
tight pouches, with indicators to tell the
status of the instruments being used.
