Sterilization Protocol
Infection Control Protocol followed in our Dental Practice
At the beginning of the day the floors are thoroughly scrubbed with scented Phenol which leaves the place clean and smelling fresh. All carpeted/non carpeted areas are meticulously cleaned to prevent air borne infections if any. The chairs and all moving/rotating parts are sprayed with antiseptic solution and wiped clean with a soft cloth. After every patient the same procedure is followed for the chairs to prevent cross infection. We recently installed Air Purifier with HEPA-14 filter and UV Light for operatory room.
Instrument Sterilization
Sterilization is an essential step in the reprocessing of reusable dental instruments that have become contaminated, or are potentially contaminated, with saliva, blood or other biological fluids. This includes dental handpieces. The aim of sterilization is to break the chain of potential cross-infection between patients by killing micro-organisms, including spores. Therefore, effective instrument cleaning is particularly important to physically remove contamination, including prion proteins, prior to sterilization.
All instruments are thoroughly washed in antiseptic solutions and wiped clean. They are the packaged into sterile pouches and vacuum sealed to prevent contamination. The instruments are then placed into an autoclave and autoclaved at 121 degrees. At this temperature all known disease causing bacteria are known to be killed. After sterilization the Instruments are stored in UV chamber.
Sterilization using a steam sterilizer (AUTOCLAVE) is recommended as the most efficient and safe method of sterilizing dental instruments in primary care dental practices. The sterilization process must be validated to ensure that instruments are reliably and consistently sterilized using predetermined and reproducible conditions. This is the standard autoclaving procedure followed in Operation Theatres worldwide.
Disposable materials
We use a fresh, new pair of gloves for every patient that is disposed off immediately after the treatment is completed. All gloves are torn as well so there is no question of whether any of them were ever used before. This is all done in front of every patient. In addition we use disposable masks, suction tips and plastic glasses. All local anesthetic is given from sealed syringes that are opened in front of you and disposed off immediately after treatment.
