Autoclave Sterilizers
Sterilization is critical for patient safety and infection prevention. The main devices used for sterilization are:
- Funace: It is used to sterilize instruments and materials through dry heat.
- Autoclave: It uses pressurized steam to sterilize instruments and handpieces. Class B autoclaves are the most suitable for dental clinic sterilization, as they offer better steam penetration and operate with various sterilization programs.
Sterilization Process:
- Instrument Cleaning: The instruments are cleaned and placed in special sterilization pouches before the sterilization process.
- Surface DisinfectionAll surfaces in the dental clinic, such as worktops, lights, the dental chair, and equipment, are regularly cleaned and disinfected.
