Cold, Sterilization, Burs, DiamondAbstract
Background: Infection control is a major issue in medicine and dentistry because of concern over communicable diseases transmitted in health care settings. The present study was conducted for comparatively evaluating various Cold Sterilization Techniques on Carbide Burs and Diamond Points. Materials & methods: The present study was conducted for comparatively evaluating various Cold Sterilization Techniques on Carbide Burs and Diamond Points. Two disinfectant solutions were used: 2% glutaraldehyde and 5.2% sodium hypochlorite. Carbide group formed Group A while diamond burs formed the group B. Collection of total 40 tooth samples was done .i.e. 20 samples in each group ; further both the study groups consisted of two subgroups each as per the type of disinfectant solution. The bacterial count was evaluated for both before and after disinfection. All the results were recorded and analysed by SPSS software. Results: Sodium hypochlorite sterilization technique was slightly better in comparison to Glutaraldehyde technique. Also carbide burs were associated with less microbial growth. Conclusion: Sodium hypochlorite sterilization technique and carbide burs were slightly better for clinical usage.
