The first and the foremost requirement for any dental clinic is a strict sterilization protocol.At our clinic we follow a strict sterilization regimen so as to avoid cross infection from other patients and post operative infection otherwise. So deadly viruses like HIV & HEPATITIS –B are not a concern in our clinic.

After every use all the instruments are washed in running water to remove soft debris. Then they are cleaned in ultrasonic cleaner. After that packed in individual autoclavable pouches & are autoclaved. Autoclaving is the best available method to sterilize reusable surgical instruments. Those instruments which cannot be autoclaved arekept in glutaraldehyde solution for cold sterilization.

For quick sterilization of small instruments glass bead sterilizer is used .And after sterilization all the packed instruments are kept in formalin chamber so that they remain sterilized till the packet is opened for you.
