Safe Practices: Sterilization and Disinfection in Orthodontics– A Review
Abstract: Sterilization is a process by which an article, surface or medium is freed of all microorganisms either in vegetative or spore state. Disinfection is the process of destroying or inhibiting most pathogenic microorganisms and inactivating some viruses, hence reducing microbial contamination to safety levels. To prevent the cross infection which spreads through the different types of instruments used during orthodontic management is of outmost importance as a preventive measure. The …
