Infection Control

In today’s day and age, infection control in a dental clinic is of primary concern to all visiting it. We at smile 'n' shine dental care centre take maximum care to make it a zero contamination zone and make it safe for our patients.

A Thorough regimen is followed to achieve total infection control in our clinic.

A thorough medical history of the patient is taken during his first dental visit, which is updated and reviewed at subsequent visits. Not all patients with infectious diseases can be identified by medical history, physical examination or readily available laboratory tests. This limitation has introduced the concept of Universal precautions.

This term refers to a method of infection control in which all human blood and certain human body fluids(saliva in dentistry) are treated as if known to be infectious for HIV, HBV, and other blood borne pathogens. Universal precautions means that the same infection control procedures are used for all patients.

Barrier Techniques

1. We at smile 'n' shine use the most modern autoclave for optimum sterilization of all non- disposable instruments. It sterilizes instruments at high temperature and high pressure.

2. Gloves are worn when skin contact with body fluids, mucous membranes or contaminated items and surfaces is anticipated. Between patients, the gloves must be removed and hands must be washed and re-gloved. Latex or vinyl gloves should be used for patient examinations and procedures.

3. Heavy rubber - (utility) gloves are used while cleaning instruments and environmental surfaces.

4. Hand washing -  Hands should be washed at the start of the day, before gloving, after removal of gloves and after touching any contaminated surface. Hand washing with water and plain soap is adequate for patient examination and non surgical procedures. For surgical procedures, an anti-microbial hand scrub should be used.

5. Face masks -  protect the oral and nasal mucosa from body fluid spatters. They are changed for every patient

6 Protective eye wear  is indicated to shield the eyes from spatters.

7 Protective clothing.Disposable  Aprons, are worn in the dental clinic. They are changed when visibly soiled or penetrated by fluids and they should not be worn outside the work area.

Dental bur- a new dental bur is used for each patient.

Instruments and equipment’s intended for sterilization or disinfection procedures are carefully prepared. Patient debris and body fluids are removed from the instruments and surfaces.

Hand piece asepsis

A dental hand piece is the backbone of any dental practice as it is the instrument which is practically used on each patient and since it is a very expensive piece of equipment it can not be disposed off .At smile 'n' shine we never re-use a dental bur(the detachable tip of the handpiece) i.e a new bur for every patient

Although no documented cases of disease transmission have been associated with dental hand pieces, sterilization between patients with acceptable methods that ensure internal as well as external sterility is done. The inside lines of high speed hand pieces may become contaminated when patient fluids retract back through air- water opening. If the hand piece is not properly processed, the retracted fluids may enter the mouth of the next patient.

For proper sterilization of hand piece, the manufacturer’s instructions are followed. First, the hand piece is flushed with water by running it for 20 to 30 seconds, discharging the water into a sink or container.

high speed hand pieces are lubricated when indicated by the manufacturer and spray out excess lubricant. Depending upon the hand piece, some must be lubricated before, after, or before and after sterilization or not at all.

Package for sterilization in steam or unsaturated chemical vapour following the manufacturer’s directions. If disinfecting a hand piece that cannot be heat sterilized, spray or saturate with disinfectant recommended by the manufacturer.
