In health
care, dentistry has long been at the forefront of the
development of new products and procedures that reduce the
potential for disease transmission. Much of this is achieved
through sterilization. Sterilization is the destruction of all
living micro-organisms, including spores (reproductive bodies)
of the hardiest bacteria and fungi.
Many of the instruments used in dentistry need to be
sterilized. The instruments that contact teeth in drilling and
polishing are either sterilized or discarded between patients.
All dental offices have extra sets of instruments which allows
for proper sterilization time.
We are now using an autolclaving machine, a dental sterilizer
that processes instruments faster and more effectively than
ever before. In autoclaving, instruments (which are first
cleaned, dried, and placed in a special steam-penetrable
wrap), are subjected to pressurized steam for 15 to 20
minutes. The instruments are then left in their protective
packaging until they are needed.

HYGIENE
Hygiene of the water circulating inside the dental
unit is very important in order to avoid the
involuntary transfer of infection to patients. Water
quality differs greatly from country to country, and
can very greatly within the same country. Microbial
contamination can have two sources: anterograde for
the load present in system water, retrograde through
reaspiration in side the pipes of micro-organisms
present in the patient's oral cavity. To attempt to
efficiently protect patients all over the world,
Anthos has fitted two disinfection systems for the
water used in the patient's oral cavity.
A. O.D.R. Anti Retraction
Re-aspiration of fluids in the outfeed represents a
source of contamination: micro-organisms (viruses,
bacteria, fungi) can then travel inside the dental
unit water pipes and contaminate the entire machine.
To avoid re-aspiration after use, each dynamic
instrument has a device which blocks re-aspiration,
and emits an air jet in the opposite direction to
eliminate the last drop when work session is finished.
B. U.V. System
An ultra-violet lamp positioned at the system water
infeed allows elimination of 99.99% of the microbial
content originating in the system. This operation is
used for water used for dynamic instruments and the
cup.
