Keeping the operating environment clean to protect both the patient and dentist.

       The clinical or hospital is the place which need very strict and serious requirements for disinfection and isolation. The probability of cross-infection between people and objects is relatively higher. So the hospital how control effectively the problem of cross infection and nosocomial infection is an important symbol.

       For the dentistry is easier to contact the infection than other professional. We must pay more attention to the infection both the patient and dentist, so we should remember many ways that can decrease the probability of the infection. 

Take the gloves and mask 

Before the treatment, we should clean all the tables or instruments before the patient sit in the dental chair. But we should take the gloves and mask before we use the detergent to clean the device.

 Use the detergent on the paper and wipe the dental chair

1) We use the detergent on the paper and wipe the dental chair, because the dental chair is the most contact to the patient.

Clean the table

     

  2) Because we always put the materials on the table and the instruments which we use and put into the patient’s mouth, so we also need to clean the table, it decrease the contact with the bacteria.

Clean the operating lam

3)  We always use the operating lamp, we should clean the handle of the lamp. This part is very easy forget to clean it.

Clean the suction and the tube

 4) We suck the wastewater from the patient’s mouth by the suction. So we don’t forget to clean the suction and the tube.

5)After  the treatment, we should clean the infected instruments by the brush. Then, we put the instrument into the box which fill the glutaraldehyde solution for few minutes. The glutaraldehyde solution make further to clean the bacteria on the instruments.

  6) After the instrument immerse the glutaraldehyde solution for few minutes. We take out the instruments and use the paper wipe the excess water. Final, we encase the instruments in the sterilization pouches. Bring all the sterilization pouches to do the sterilization.

 Finally, it’s important to keep the operating environment clean and decrease the probability to contact the bacteria. The medical personnel should make sure the instruments are clean and asepsis for the patients. We should change the gloves for the different patient and we should not touch other objects when we wear the gloves. Those behaviors is not only to protect the patients, but also to protect ourselves when we doing the treatment.
