Helpdesk / Keeping Dental Instruments Sterile

« on: July 09, 2011, 12:54:00 PM »

All but one patient treated at Australia's Bundaberg Hospital dental health clinic has returned a negative result for blood-borne viruses.  The treatment stemmed from a problem which occurred in the cleaning process of dental instruments.  Some of the instruments used were thought to be unsterile, and thus, tests were carried out to see if an infectious viral disease was passed on to any of the patients.  This makes you wonder whether or not the dentists were using high quality disinfectant sprays or wipes.  Before going any further, I will simply say that it's always important to use a medical grade disinfectant.
