Patient Safety

Sterilization Process

The sterilization process is the most critical part of a safety protocol in a dental clinic that eliminates all kinds of bacteria, viruses, and fungi from the instruments.

Instruments are dipped in disinfectant solution for at least 30 minutes and scrubbed and cleansed in running water with a cleansing mixture.

Gets further rinsed by an ultrasonic sterilizer chamber and sealed in separate pouches.

Instruments are then sterilized in B Class Autoclave at 121°centigrade for at least 30 minutes to effectively kill 99℅ of the bacteria.

Instruments are then stored in a UV disinfection cabinet to maintain sterility till the time they are used.

Safety Equipment

  • Sterilization Autoclaves:

B-class autoclave is the most suitable for dental care as it delivers versatility in operation and offers great efficiency with high safety standards. Indeed its quality is unmatched as it is modeled with the latest technology.

  • Ultrasonic sterilizer:

The sterilizer uses high-frequency sound waves for cavitation to agitate the bubbles that penetrate every surface of the medical instrument, leaving no holes untouched. It is often done before the sterilization process for better results.

  • UV disinfection cabinet:

It is a desktop disinfection cabinet that keeps the sealed pouches to maintain sterility. The autoclaved instruments are kept in this cabinet to keep them safe from further contamination.

  • Sealed instrument pouches:

These pouches are used to seal the medical equipment as and when they are sterilized using instruments such as an autoclave. They keep the equipment clean and free of contamination for hygiene and safety purposes.

  • Glass bead sterilizer:

The sterilizer cleans small metal instruments in a matter of a few seconds through radiation. Equipment such as metal burs and files used in root canal treatments are sterilized by this instrument. Since it uses high temperatures for sterilization, it is quite potent in killing bacteria and fungi. 

  • Needle destroyer:

It is an electrically operated equipment that destroys disposable needles and syringes with utmost care and ease. It hinders healthcare personnel from direct contact with the needle and also prevents accidental pricks.

  • UV light disinfection cabinet:

The cabinet purifies the air through UV rays and kills bacteria, viruses, and fungi. It disrupts their DNA and ceases further reproduction.

  • RO water filter:

The purifier filters the large and unwanted molecules and other contaminants such as salt, dirt, etc. This enables the use of safe and clean water for day-to-day operations at the clinic. 

  • Humidifiers: 

Sanitation is an utmost priority in a dental care setup. A humidifier is an important tool to sanitize the clinic without any harm. Patients and visiting staff are sanitized with the help of this device with due diligence and thus maintain the necessary sanitization.

Safety measures

To offer safe and quality dentistry services to our patients, we follow a few basic yet imperative practices.
  • Regular and rigorous disinfection of the surfaces with regular hand sanitizing protocols in place.
  • A well-established and ordered sterilization of instruments is in place to maintain the utmost hygiene.
  • We use the best quality and standard PPEs to restrict any cross-contamination between patients and doctors to maintain patient health and safety.
  • A record of patients is maintained in secured patient management software. The software stores all the necessary information such as their name, demography, or medical status. All such records are maintained digitally for smooth day-to-day clinical operation.
  • The biomedical waste generated is disposed of according to the standard guidelines by competent authorities and follows global norms established by institutions such as WHO.
  • Disciplined fumigation of the clinic is done multiple times a day to eliminate bacteria, viruses, and fungi. 
  • For infection control, we follow guidelines set up by the Center for Disease Control which is the prominent body in the country working on public health and eliminating diseases.
