INTRODUCTION
Infectious diseases can be transmitted from oneperson to another.
Dentist & dental staff can be exposed to seriousinfectious disease on daily basis.
The dentist has the responsibility to thoroughlyunderstand disease transmission & prevent crossinfection.

STERILIZATION
Sterilization is a physical or chemical processthat completely destroys or removemicroorganisms and all their forms (spores)
OBJECTIVES OF STERILIZATION:- To provide the highest standard of care.
To minimize the risk of infections.
To provide a supportive, informal, relaxed &non-threating operatory environment to the pt.

DRY HEAT
PROLONGED DRY HEAT:
It kills microorganism by an oxidationprocess of cell proteins, a processrequiring very high temperature.

PROLONGED DRY HEAT (CONT.)
It is very slow to penetrate instrument loads A margin of safety requires instruments to be
sterilized at 160C for 2hrs.
GUIDE-LINES FOR DRY HEAT:-
Temperature Duration of exposure 121C 6-12hrs 140C 3hrs
150C 2-1/2hrs 160C 2hr 170C 1hr

DISADVANTAGES:
Slow instrument turn around because of poor
heat exchange. Potential damage to heat-sensitive instruments.
INTENSE DRY HEAT: (GLASS BEADSTERILIZATION):
Chair side sterilization of endo files can beaccomplished by using this type of sterilization.
This device is a metal crucible that heats a
transfer medium of glass beads.

GLASS BEAD STERILIZATION(CONT):
Process:
Clean endo instruments of small mass are keptin transfer medium at temperature of 220C for15secs.
Transfer medium heats the endo instruments
through heat convection & kills any adherentmicroorganism.
ADVANTAGES:
Small size & convenience of sterilizer.

Serves as emergency back up to other methodsof sterilization.
DISADVANTAGES: Only instrument of small size can be sterilized.
Only a few instruments can be sterilized at atime.
It is non-verifiable.

It kills microorganism denaturation of protein, RNA
or DNA breakdown. It is more efficient than dry heat because it is
effective at much lower temperatures & requires lesstime as water is better than air at transferring heat.
The method could be used at different temperatures Temperature below 100iC
Temperature at 100iC
Temperature above 100i

TEMPERATURE BELOW 100C
Pasteurization: Pasteur used heat to reduce theno. of pathogens in liquid for preservation. Fore.g. Milk is pasteurized by being held in water at63C for 30 mins and cooled suddenly.
Tyndallization: heating at 56C for 60 mins forthree successive days is known astyndallyzation.

Boiling: at 100C for 5 mins
Steam at 100C: this is done in a steamer
TEMPERATURE AT 100C
TEMPERATURE ABOVE 100C
Autoclave sterilization:In this, sterilization takes place by the use of steam under
pressure.
-

AUTOCLAVE STERILIZATION
When steam comes in contactwith an object, it condenses &almost instantly releases thatstored heat energy, whichquickly denatures vital cellproteins.
It takes place in 15-30min at121C at the pressure of15lbs/sq.i
Saturated steam is much moreefficient than either dry heat orboil water.

Time required depend on type of load placed &its permeability.
Instruments placed in autoclave must beproperly arranged.
Non stainless steel metal may oxidize unlessprotected by a reducing agent prior to packagingor autoclaving.
1-2% sodium nitrite is an effective rust inhibitor.

RADIATION
Ultra violet rays inhibits DNA replication
Used for disinfecting surfaces, sterilization ofatmospheric air e.g. operation theatres.
Ionizing radiations: X-Rays, Particle radiations.These produces free radicals, which break thecovalent bond of DNA and thus kill organisms.

This is used for sterilizing solutions that containssera or amino acids that would be denatured by
heating and water Types of filters are cellulose membrane,
earthenware candles, asbestos, sintered glass

DISINFECTION
A process of destroying pathogenic organisms or
rendering them inert. Less lethal than sterilization as it does not
necessarily kill all microbial forms, hence lacks
the margin of safety. Is reserved for large environmental surfaces that
cannot be sterilized.
Or where instruments cant withstand heat.

PRACTICAL ASEPSIS
THE HANDS: Major route of
transmission of oralmicroorganism
Nails should be kept short All rings & bracelets be
removed prior to ptcontact
Hands should be cleaned
with anti-septic soap. Gloves must be worn. Poly ethylene over gloves
should also be be used

OPERATORY ASEPSIS
It can be achieved in two ways:
First is to wipe off floors, flat
surfaces. Second to cover surfaces with
protective shields.
COVERINGS:
Most useful & simple are paper,plastic & foil
A new cover is used for each
patient.
