Abstract
|
|
|
Objective: The author has measured RLU by use of ART meter at such site of dental environment as dental unit chair, dental light, tray, head rest and spittoon, in order to check the sanitary environment of dental clinic and to reveal the effect of PCMX spray with FlugunTM.
Methods: 3% PCMX was used with FlugunTM as an experimental group and the mixed solution of 10% NaOCl and 70% Alcohol was sed as a control group, to compare the RLU before and after sterilization or each group, measuring RLU by use of ATP luminescence at each site and analysed by paired t-test.
Results: 1. RLU was the most at the spittoon, before sterilization both in control and in experimental group. 2. RLU decrease rate was more in control group than in experimental group (p＜0.05), measured at the spittoon, even though it revealed decrease of RLU after sterilization than before, both in control and in experimental group. 3. RLU decrease rates were more in experimental group than in control group, measured at such site as at the dental light, at the unit tray and at the head rest of the unit chair, but there was no significant different in each group (p＞0.05).
Conclusion: 3% PCMX with FlugunTM spray was recommended to use for promotion of total hygiene environment of dental clinic for a limited time and not for target area, by consideration.
