Contaminated dental instruments.
There is current concern in the UK over the possible transmission of prions via contaminated surgical instruments. Some dental instruments (endodontic files) raise particular concerns by virtue of their intimate contact with terminal branches of the trigeminal nerve. A visual assessment using a dissecting light microscope and scanning electron microscopy of endodontic files after clinical use a...
متن کاملPlasma cleaning of dental instruments.
The theoretical risk of prion transmission via surgical instruments is of current public and professional concern. These concerns are further heightened by reports of the strong surface affinity of the prion protein, and that the removal of organic material by conventional sterilization is often inadequate. Recent reports of contamination on sterilized endodontic files are of particular relevan...
متن کاملCan Oral Debris on Dental Instruments Harbor Organisms from Disinfection?
Background and Aim: Reusable dental instruments are continually contaminated with debris and body fluids, which require cleaning decontamination and sterilization prior to re-use. This study was aimed to assess if remaining blood and debris on instruments can prevent instruments from being fully disinfected and sterilized because of harboring microorganisms and impeding disinfectant penetration...
متن کاملResidual protein levels on reprocessed dental instruments.
Reduction of the initial bioburden on instruments, prior to sterilization, is believed to reduce transmission risks of iatrogenic Creutzfeldt-Jakob disease. Endodontic files are used in the preparation of root canals and are likely to have close contact and become contaminated with neural material from branches of the maxillary and mandibular cranial nerves. This study examined methods used by ...

On the other hand, it is possible to mistake one or other of several conditions which in their facial and dental manifestation...
