Introduction • Microorganisms are ubiquitous
• Pathogenic microbes may be transmitted directly from the dentist to the patient or from the patient to the doctor, and indirectly from patient to patient.
• Thus ,it is necessary to remove them as they cause contamination , infection and decay.
• This presents an enormous challenge in the current scenario as it has been proved that blood and saliva are high risk sources of contracting hepatitis b, human immunodeficiency virus and herpes.

How ? By What ?
Infection control
04/11/2023 5
• Sterilization is defined as the process by which an article, surface or medium is freed by all living micro-organisms either in vegetative or spore state.
• Disinfection- means the destruction or removal of all pathogenic organisms or organisms capable of giving rise to infection.
• Antisepsis- used to indicate the prevention of infection, usually by inhibiting the growth of bacteria in wounds or tissues.
• Antiseptics- Chemical disinfectants which can be safely
applied to skin or mucous membrane and are used to prevent infection by inhibiting the growth of bacteria.

• Bactericidal/germicidal- are those which are able to kill bacteria.
• Bacteriostatic- are agents only that prevent the multiplication of bacteria which may however remain alive.
• Decontamination- refers to the process of rending an article or area free of danger from contaminants including microbial, chemical, radioactive and other hazards.
• Fumigation- exposure of an area or object to disinfectant, insecticidal or vermin killing fumes.

CDC classification
Critical instruments: those used to penetrate soft tissue or bone, or enter into or contact the bloodstream or other normally sterile tissue.
• eg: scalpels,forceps.
Semi critical instruments: those that do not penetrate soft tissues or bone but contact mucous membranes or non-intact skin.
• e.g: mirrors, reusable impression trays and amalgam condensers
Non critical instruments: those that come into contact only with intact skin.
• e.g: external components of x-ray heads, blood pressure cuffs and pulse oximeters.

Guidelines For Orthodontic Armamentarium Sterilisation
• Minimal requirement for sterilising the orthodontic instruments are :– Ultrasonic – Dry heat steriliser– Autoclave
• Other than this chemical sterilisation with alcohol and other vapours can be done for the instruments which are not in direct contact with blood or saliva.

Molar bands
• Most overlooked materials in orthodontics.
• Sterilisation of tried in preformed bands has received attention nowadays.
• In orthodontic clinical practice the attachments on posterior teeth are commonly welded to stainless steel bands and cemented into position within the mouth.
• Unlike directly bonded attachments, where one size fits all, bands have to be selected according to the size of the tooth to which they are to be cemented.
04/11/2023 21
• During appliance placement several bands may be tried in the mouth before the appropriate size is selected.

Glass bead
• Smith reported that glass bead steriliser can be used effectively to sterilise the tried in bands.
• He recommended :– Single band for 1 min in bead steriliser due to
fluctuations in temperatures other wise 45 sec is enough.
– Temp : 225 – 250 deg.– 5 or more bands need to double the time.– Steriliser with deep and narrow wells are preferred
over shallow ones as

Elastomeric ligatures and chains
• These are not chemiclaved as they are known to alter
the physical properties
• Alcohol wipes are also not recommended as they are not
so effective in blood and saliva
• Single patient packs are best suitable for preventing
cross contamination
• Otherwise,in case of e chain spools it is better to cut little
extra than required and discard rest

Arch wires
• Arch wire sterilisation can ve done by routine 3 methods:
– Cold sterilisation
– Dry heat sterilisation
– Autoclaving

• Ten NiTi wires were used in the study per each group.• Group 1 clinical recycling and dry heat sterilisation• Group 2 only DHS• Clinical recycling was done after 1 cycle.
• Results:– showed that force levels increased after CR for NiTi wires
between pre tx and first cycle.– Thus suggesting that CR appears to reduce pseudoplasticity
and pseudoelasticity of NiTi wires increasing their stiffness.

• a study was conducted in which CR then sterilised and as received wires of different types SS,NiTi,TMA wires were analysed for change in the properties.
• Different test like:tensile loading,3 point bending test,laser topographic study were performed.
• Load/deflection and tensile tests showed no clinically significant difference between as-received and used-then-disinfected/sterilized wires.
• These results suggest that nickel-titanium arch wires can be recycled at least once.

Marking pencil
• Marking pencils can be potential source of cross contamination.
• Sterilisation options for these pencils are– EO gas– Alcohol wipes
• These pencils cannot be autoclaved.• Use of permanent marking pens can also be considered
for marking arch wires.• But these pens cannot be autoclaved as it is made of
plastic.• cannot be cold sterilised as it contains ink.
Disinfection of permanent markers;JCO;1996:30(1) ;646-649
04/11/2023 34
• Probable solution may be use of ink containing alcohols.• Alcohols are considered as intermediate level
disinfectants.
• Study was conducted using red,blue,black permanent markers with alcohol .
• Alcohol content ranging from 50-80%.
Marking pencils as potential source of cross contaminaton;JCO;1998:32(5) ;307-310
04/11/2023 35
• Results suggest that alcohol are not so efficient in preventing cross contamination.but drying period of 10 min between 2 patients showed a decrease in bactrial count.
• This suggests that pens after use should be left capped for 10 min to dry.
• Finally,the best method to prevent cross contamination is use of inexpensive marking pencils which are disposable.

TADS
• Acc to CDC,placement of TADS is a surgical procedure and nedd high level of sterilisation.
• Following are the requirements for procedure:– Surgical hand antiseptic– Surgical gloves– Irrigant devices– Sterile instruments– Sterile implant
04/11/2023 37
• Sterilisation of mini implants can be done by – autoclaving– Dry heat sterilisation
• Dry heat strilisation should be done with caution as the implant cannot tolerate high temp.
• And should be done with an temp indicators to identify when the ideal temp has reached for sterilsation.

• The results of this study suggest that mini-implants can be safely sterilized, with the method used in this study.
• This will lead to no clinically significant changes to their resistance to fracture.

• Repeated cycles of sterilization altered the surface characteristics of the mini-screws, as evidenced by the significant changes in their maximum insertion torque.
• sterilization cycle as a main effect did not significantly affect lateral displacement force values.
• study did not indicate major structural damage to the mini-screws that may affect their clinical stability and consistency as they are sterilized up to 10 cycles.

Hepatitis B
• The most common inflammatory disease of the liver is due to hepatitis B (HBV).
• HBV is 50 to 100 times more infectious than HIV and is a major occupational risk for physicians, surgeons .
• according to the studies conducted orthodontist exhibits the second highest incidence of HBV.

Hepatitis-B vaccination
• Three doses are generally required to complete the hepatitis B vaccine series, although there is an accelerated two-dose series for adolescents.
– First Injection - At any given time– Second Injection - At least one month after the first dose– Third Injection - Six months after the first dose– Booster dose – every five years
04/11/2023 45
Do hepatitis b patients are contraindicated for orthodontic
treatment?• NO,
• proper barriers techniques and sterilisation procedures before and after treatment should be followed to prevent cross infection.
• And as they are not prescribed any systemic drugs there seems no contraindications.
04/11/2023 46
Dental impressions
• Common disinfecting solutions used for impressions are– 1% naocl– Sodium dichlolroisocyanurate– 2% glutaraldehyde
• Rinse the impression under running water• Immerse in disinfectant for 10 min• Rinse under water• Ready for model processing• In case of hepatitis b infected patients casts should be
poured with gypsum containing 0.25% chloramines.

conclusion
• “Prevention is better than cure” a proverb well suited to
sterilization.
• Thorough understanding of the application of sterilization
will help ensure safety from the invisible but deadly
world of microbial pathogens.
• Hence utilization of proper sterilization, disinfectants and
aseptic procedures help us achieve the safety of our
professional demands.
04/11/2023 48
• All the above discussed sterilisation and disinfection methods and the studies conducted to evaluate their effects on mechanical and physical properties conclude that none of the properties are effected.
• Thus sterilisation guidelines should be maintained to protect– Ourselves – Patients– Family and friends from cross infections.
