Disinfection and Sterilization Processes of Analog and Digital Impressions

Abstract

Prosthetic specialists, dental staff and dental technicians are faced with many infections that can be transmitted from patients due to the materials and applications used in prosthetic dental treatment. During prosthetic procedures causes cross contamination between the clinic and the laboratory, transporting impression materials taken from the patient's mouth to the laboratory without being disinfected. In order to prevent contamination, it is recommended that the measurements taken from the patients are disinfected and forwarded to the technicians. However, the disinfection material and methods to be used may affect the properties of the impression material. The purpose of this review is to examine the disinfection and sterilization methods of digital and traditional analog impressions.

Geleneksel ve Dijital Ölçülerin Dezenfeksiyon ve Sterilizasyon İşlemleri

Öz

Protetik diş tedavisinde kullanılan materyaller ve uygulamalar nedeniyle, protez uzmanları, yardımcı personel ve diş teknisyenleri, hastalardan bulaşabilecek birçok enfeksiyonla karşı karşıya kalmaktadır. Protetik işlemler sırasında hasta ağzından alınan ölçü maddelerinin dezenfekte edilmeden laboratuvara gönderilmesi klinik ile laboratuvar arasında çapraz kontaminasyona neden olmaktadır. Kontaminasyonun önlenebilmesi amacıyla, hastalardan alınan ölçülerin dezenfekte edilerek teknisyenlere iletilmesi önerilmektedir. Ancak kullanılacak dezenfeksiyon materyali ve yöntemleri, ölçü materyalinin özelliklerini etkileyebilmektedir. Bu derlemenin amacı, dijital ve geleneksel analog ölçülerin dezenfeksiyon ve sterilizasyon metotlarının incelenmesidir.

Anahtar Kelimeler

• dezenfeksiyon
