[Hygiene at the treatment area in the dental office]
Abstract:
The state of hygiene in a dental office in the canton of Bern was examined. 22 bacteriological tests were made on the surfaces around the treatment area. Also, the water from the sprays and the most important instruments were tested. Before cleaning and disinfection the test objects showed an average of 110 microorganisms per 100 cm2. The species are enumerated. Particularly infected were polishing brushes, "slurry-water", dentures polished and cleaned with water, also the water from the dental unit. The results show that improvement is badly in need. Also a warning is given for the possible transmission of hepatitis. Female dentists and dental assistants are cautioned to get a german measles vaccination.
