Dental instruments can be sterilized by means of autoclave (steam) or kiln (dry heat). In order
to utilize these equipment, several directives established by health care governmental
organizations must be followed. Since the instructions are not common for all the involved
health care organizations, there are some differences considering the monitoring of these
equipment. Thus, taking into account several problems found in the literature and in the
practical use of the equipment, a monitoring routine covering physical, chemical and
biological tests was developed in order to assure that dentists can have their equipment
working properly and that they are complying with the directives of the Health Ministry. To
implement the routine, 12 sterilization equipment (6 autoclaves and 6 kilns) of 7 dental offices
from Curitiba city were monitorized, following the guidelines of the Health Ministry.The
results obtained have shown that there were some kind of failure on all 12 tested equipment.
Finally, the application of the routine showed that monitoring is critical to detect failures in
the sterilization process, therefore the monitoring allows a greater control over dental
instruments and reduces the risk of infections for patients and dentists. |
