Is your Dental Clinic hygienic ?

Hygienic clinic are necessary to perform infection free procedures.You know an apparently clean looking clinic may not be hygienic. Ideally a dental clinic operatory should be free from potential viruses & bacteria.Dental surgeon uses very small sharp instruments & fine drills.If not properly clean & sterilised, these instruments carries a significant amount of viruses , bacteria & sometimes parasites & fungi . There are different protocols involved to make such instruments sterlised. Apart from instruments , other surfaces in the clinic also  requires a sterile cleaning. Surfaces like the dental chair, dental instruments tray ,operatory platform & any other surfaces that may be contacted with doctor & his staff & patient  require an effective surface disinfection periodically. Fumigation of the procedure room is an essential step. An standard method to keep the instruments clean is Autoclaving. A normal Autoclave will not fulfill the standard hygienic requirement in a dental clinic. At least a Class B type of Autoclave is considered to be standard in the proper sterilisation of Dental instruments. All such hygiene measures in a Dental Clinic will minimise least post operative complications & thus improving the quality of treatment.Various equipments used in a dental clinic to maintain hygiene & sterilisation are :-
