Sterilizer Equipment

dental equipment

A method by which dental equipment, such as dental scalers, can be sanitized using a detergent or treating composition containing a surfactant and a solvent such as water is disclosed. The method involves taking the used dental equipment and contacting it with the treating composition, and subjecting both the equipment and composition to microwaves. The composition foams during microwaving and/or immerses the equipment such that microwave arcing is avoided, and such that the dental equipment is sanitized.
Historically, dentists, orthodontists and other oral medical personnel routinely use a variety of dental equipment to practice dentistry on patients requiring an assortment of oral medical treatment. For example, forceps, scalpels, bone chisels, scalers, burs, drills and the like are used to perform periodic teeth cleaning operations on patients. In such cases, the dental equipment must be disinfected, and preferably sterilized, prior to use on a new patient. As used herein, the term "sanitize" broadly encompasses both disinfecting and sterilization, whereas disinfecting and sterilizing each refer to different levels of microbe removal as described in detail hereinafter. Even equipment such as mirrors and amalgam condensers that are not particularly used to penetrate soft oral tissue, but nevertheless are contacted with tissue and the like when used during dental operations require disinfecting and/or sterilization prior to use on the next patient. Of the numerous pieces of dental equipment used, certain equipment such as scalpels, scalers, burs, and forceps, must be sterilized prior to re-use so as to prevent the transmission of disease from patient to patient.

Currently, dentists employ either heat, cold or chemical vapor disinfection and sterilization techniques for which relatively expensive equipment is required in addition to time-consuming procedures using such equipment to disinfect and/or sterilize the dental equipment. By way of example, private dental offices must employ personnel on overage of two to four hours per day just to disinfect and/or sterilize used dental equipment. This amount of time can vary depending upon the volume of patients treated during a given day. Moreover, governmental agencies in most countries require proper disinfection and/or sterilization of dental equipment, and dental offices are routinely inspected for compliance with the agency's guidelines. In the U.S., for example, the Organizational Safety and Health Agency (OSHA), Public Health Service (CDC), and the American Dental Association (ADA) have relatively stringent guidelines on the sterilization/disinfection of dental equipment prior to use.

Unfortunately, conventional relatively inexpensive detergents used for washing tableware (i.e., glassware, china, silverware. plastic, etc.) or kitchenware in the home or institution are not particularly effective in obtaining disinfection, and particularly ineffective in obtaining sterilization of dental equipment. The particular requirements of cleansing tableware and leaving it in a sanitary, essentially stainless, residue-free state has indeed resulted in so many particular compositions that the body of art pertaining thereto is now recognized as quite distinct from other cleansing product art. Additionally, the body of art pertaining to fabric cleaning is immense and encompasses many formulations designed for stain removal, many including bleaches. However, dental offices simply cannot effectively sterilize and/or disinfect their used dental equipment with such detergent compositions if used alone.
