| Sterilization |
|
We follow all the disinfection and sterilization procedures needed for infection control. These are used for each and every patient to prevent the transmission of the AIDS virus and other infectious diseases.
We have introduced individualized sterile packs that contain instruments, gauze, cotton balls and suction devices (photograph). Our patients are reassured when a new pack of supplies is opened in front of them prior to treatment. All needles and syringes used in our centre are disposable. The glasses used for rinsing and towels used as aprons for the patients are disposable too. Dental instruments are cleaned and sterilized at very high temperatures after each time they are used on a patient.
The sterilization methods used in our centre are: autoclaving (steam under pressure), dry heat oven, chemical vapors (commonly called a chemiclave). These measures are carried out rigorously and consistently and demonstrate our commitment to your safety.
