Abstract: (1719 Views)
Background and Objectives: The tools used in dentistry become contaminated after treatment. The most common method of sterilizing them is autoclaving. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the accuracy of type B autoclaves in Rafsanjan dental clinics in 2019-20.
Materials and Methods: In this descriptive cross-sectional study, 42 dental clinics were examined. In order to evaluate the performance of autoclaves, SPORVIEW biological indicator and incubator with a temperature of 55-60 º C were used. Data were analyzed using the Mann-Whitney U test and Chi-square test.
Results: The present study showed that 85.69% of the autoclaves performed the sterilization process correctly and 14.31% of them failed to perform this process.
Conclusion: The results showed that type B autoclaves of dental clinics in Rafsanjan have a good performance for sterilizing instruments.
Keywords: Type B autoclave, Biological indicator, Sterilization, Dentistry, Rafsanjan
