For sterilization to occur using an immersion disinfectant, items must be immersed for a minimum of _____ hours. 6
To avoid contamination in a dental treatment area, the best approach is to assume all surfaces have been contaminated.
The purpose of precleaning a surface is to reduce the number of microbes and remove blood, saliva, and other body fluids called bioburden.
The agency that regulates and registers disinfectants and chemical sterilants according to chemical classification is the EPA.
The use of barriers on surfaces and equipment can prevent contamination of contact areas. The correct protocol for their use would include removing and discarding with gloved hands, and replacing using clean gloves between patients. using a barrier resistant to fluids.
The high-level disinfectant that does not require activation or mixing and has little odor is ortho-phthalaldehyde (OPA).
Carpet in dental treatment areas harbors both bacteria and fungi.
A product capable of killing a virus should be labeled virucidal.
Precleaning can be accomplished using regular soap and water.
Which of the following can be used as a surface disinfectant in the dentistry? Synthetic phenols
Acceptable barriers include clear plastic wrap. plastic bags. tubing and plastic-backed paper.
Disinfectants used in dentistry must be registered with the Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) as hospital disinfectants with the ability to kill Mycobacterium tuberculosis.
“Green” infection control protocols can be implemented in all of the following except traditional film-based radiography.
A product capable of killing spores is a sporicidal.
The protocol to follow to minimize contamination of touch and transfer surfaces from splash, spatter, and surface droplets is to apply an acceptable barrier following precleaning and disinfection.
The agency responsible for the Blood-Borne Pathogens Standards that requires contaminated surfaces to be disinfected between patients, even if no evidence of contamination is visible is OSHA.

Precautions when using glutaraldehyde include avoid inhaling the fumes. always rinse instruments thoroughly prior to any intraoral use. wear PPE to protect the eyes, skin, and lungs.
Following OSAP protocol, surface barriers should be removed and discarded between patients while hands are still gloved.
The appropriate disinfection protocol to follow when a surface has been covered with a barrier is clean and disinfect the surface at the beginning and end of each workday.
Instability, daily preparation, strong odor, and corrosion are some of the disadvantages of sodium hypochlorite.
Housekeeping surfaces need to be cleaned with only a detergent or low-level disinfectant.
The chemical disinfectant classified as an intermediate-level agent that is no longer recommended for use in dentistry is sodium hypochlorite.
According to the EPA, synthetic phenol compounds are categorized as intermediate-level hospital disinfectants. Phenols can be used on metal. glass. rubber or plastic.
Some microorganisms may survive on outside the host on environmental surfaces. The organism of concern to dentistry that can survive for weeks outside the host is tuberculosis.
The following are considered single-use items except metal impression trays.
