Microwave and autoclave usage in human teeth sterilization

Surface roughness of polyvinyl siloxane impression materials following chemical disinfection, autoclave and microwave sterilization.

BACKGROUND Autoclave sterilization and microwave sterilization has been suggested as the effective methods for the disinfection of elastomeric impressions, but subjecting elastomeric impressions to extreme temperature may have adverse effects on critical properties of the elastomers. AIM To evaluate the effect of chemical disinfection as well as autoclave and microwave sterilization on the su...

Autoclave Sterilization of PEDOT:PSS Electrophysiology Devices.

Autoclaving, the most widely available sterilization method, is applied to poly(3,4-ethylenedioxythiophene) doped with polystyrene sulfonate (PEDOT:PSS) electrophysiology devices. The process does not harm morphology or electrical properties, while it effectively kills E. coli intentionally cultured on the devices. This finding paves the way to widespread introduction of PEDOT:PSS electrophysio...

Microwave sterilization of femoral head allograft.

The potential shortage of allograft bone has led to the need to investigate other sources of bone for allografts. Some allograft bone donated from primary total hip arthroplasty recipients must be discarded or treated to become usable as a result of bacterial contamination. Femoral head allografts were contaminated with Staphylococcus aureus and Bacillus subtilis. A domestic microwave oven was ...
