Abstract:
A new technical approach for immediate cleansing and decontamination was studied. Control of cleansing was observed using macroscopic and microscopic (S.E.M.) examinations on different instruments currently used in dentistry. Antiseptic solution was tested regarding four bacterial strains representative of the normal oral flora. The synergistic action of the combined solution plus pressure was effective for removal of debris before they dry. Antiseptic solution was bacteriostatic and at concentration level recommended by the manufacturer, viable colonies were not detected.
