Evaluation of the barrier system, an infection control system for the dental laboratory

摘要: An experimental system of laboratory infection control was tested, using 76 dentures from 40 volunteer patients. The were cleansed on entering and again leaving the laboratory. To evaluate effectiveness disinfection, cultured as they received patient, after first cleansing, polishing, second cleansing. disinfection prostheses involved scrubbing them with Hibiclens skin cleanser, rinsing, in one three disinfectants (1:16 Sporicidin solution, full-strength 5.25% sodium hypochlorite [undiluted Clorox]), finally rinsing. Full-strength solution significantly more effective than diluted but no statistically significant difference found between hypochlorite, or 1:16 solution. All solutions reducing eliminating culturable aerobic bacteria.
