Subject: Different methods of hand piece sterilisation

I want a detailed review of different types of hand pieces that are available and their suitable methods of sterlisation

Subject: Re: Different methods of hand piece sterilisation

Dear,
I assume that you refer to dental handpieces. Indeed, there are many types of equipment available.
All high-speed dental handpieces and slow-speed handpiece attachments, (unless disposable), are considered at least semicritical and must be cleaned, lubricated, and sterilized between patients according to instructions provided by the manufacturer.
Please read the following references:

  1. www.ki.se/odont/cariologi_endodonti/exarb/EBRAHIM.PDF
  2. Leonard DL, Charlton DG., Performance of high-speed dental handpieces subjected to simulated clinical use and sterilization. J Am Dent Assoc. 1999 Sep; 130(9):1301-11.

I hope it helps

Yaffa Raz
