| Sterilization and Control of Cross Infection : |
|
Your safety is our priority. We operate under the strictest cross-infection control procedures. All equipments are fully sterilized between patients using autoclaves according to international standards of sterility. All clinical staff attends in housing training programs to keep up with the up to date information and to meet the demands of international guidelines and regulations.
Dental instruments are scrubbed under running water and are sterilized in the auto clave under the temperature of 135 Celsius. Each sterilization is monitored and recorded according to international guidelines.
All surfaces are disinfected using an antibacterial spray before each treatment.
Disposable gloves, Face Masks, protective clothing and disposable surface covers are used for each treatment.

We focus our attention towards cross infection therefore we take great care in sterilization methods. We compile with CE certified International sterilization methods. We also take great care to avoid pathogenic transmission.
At our Dental Clinic, we carry out all possible sterilization and disinfection procedures needed for infection control. This is provided to each and every patient to prevent the transmission of the AIDS virus, Tuberculosis, Hepatitis, Tetanus and other infectious diseases. We use appropriate protective garb such as gloves, and masks.
Disposable gloves, needles, syringe and are used for each patient. |

 Sterilization is the complete elimination or destruction of all forms of microbial life and is accomplished in healthcare facilities by either physical or chemical processes.
Disinfection describes a process that destroys many or all pathogenic microorganisms on inanimate objects with the exception of bacterial spores. Method of sterilization that may be used for these instruments and materials that are heat stable include steam under pressure (autoclave), chemical (formaldehyde) vapors, and dry heat.
|
| |
 Out of these three methods steam under pressure i.e. autoclaving is the most dependable method of sterilization. All of our dental instrument including our
Hand pieces are sterilized to 135 degree Celsius using a vaporizing effect created from high pressure pushing heat thoroughly all over and through every part of the instrument, even a very tiny spaces. |
We carry out a 4 step sterilization standard for all non-disposable items.
STEP 1
The dental instruments are scrubbed thoroughly to discard debris.
STEP 2
The dental instruments are than rinsed in ultrasonic cleaner. Our dental appliances are individually packed and sealed by our impulse auto-sealer machine then autoclaved by our pre-vacuumed autoclave.
STEP 3
Autoclaving is the best way of sterilizing instruments. We at our end, carry out autoclaving of instruments in our Autoclave machine prior to any type of treatments done to the patients.
In order to confirm the proper working of the autoclave machine we use indicator strips each time to test and hence ensure that the instruments are properly autoclaved.
 All our dental equipments and instruments are maintained and sterilized according to international standards with CE certified sterilization machines. These very high standards have help attract many companies, schools, airlines and embassies to sign corporate contracts with us.
STEP 4
sterilized instruments are kept in water proof package under U.V. Chamber to maintain sterilization.
To ensure a bacteria free environment at the clinic we carry out fumigation process every week wherein, the whole clinic is treated with chemical fumes to see that the treatment environment remains bacteria free. |

Additinally, we also use the Attest Biological Monitoring System by 3M ESPE to verify the effectiveness of our sterilization efforts. The 3M Attest sterilization is a proven and reliable system with a 20 year product history using biological indicator system for monitoring steam sterilization. This is used to ensure that our sterilization controls and standards are well assured and above those of required standards.
- Has a self-contained biological indicators significantly reduce the possibility of contamination, minimizing false positives and ensuring more accurate results.
- Incubator automatically crushes vial to release medium, making it safer and easier to use than other systems.
- 14-vial capacity to meet the needs of both small and large offices.
- See-through cover allows for easy observation and reading of indicator color change.
- Dry-block design is pre-set to proper incubation temperature to ensure consistent, accurate results.
- System is color-coded for quick reference and easy use.
