Abstract: INTRODUCTION: In recent years, a strong behavior change regarding the control of cross infection during dental treatment was perceived, except among some orthodontists who insist in the misconception that Orthodontics is a specialty of low risk in the transmission of infectious and contagious diseases. OBJECTIVE: The objective of this study was to evaluate the methods used by orthodontists for disinfection of pliers in their daily practice. METHODS: The bacteria Pseudomonas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus an… Show more

“…The reprocessing of orthodontic instruments (OIs), orthodontic supplies and accessories (cheek retractors, elastomeric chains, photographic mirrors, orthodontic markers, etc.) has become a matter of actual interest only recently (5,6,37,(61)(62)(63)(64)(65)(66)(67)(68). In general, OIs (arch-forming pliers, ligature cutters, distalend cutters, torquing keys, bracket positioning gauges, V-bend forming pliers, bracket placement tweezers, orthodontic scaler, etc.)…”

“…Ortho-phthalaldehyde spore paper properties did not increase in combination with isopropanol and potassium acetate. The researchers also stated that a high level disinfectant with the formulation of glutaraldehyde 5.3% in combination with isopropanol 20% and potassium acetate 8% eliminated mycobacteria in 10 minutes at a temperature of 20°C and 6Log 10 Bacillus subtilis spores in 60 minutes at 20°C. The results of this study were similar to those of the current study with one difference; in Miner et al, a temperature between 20-25°C was considered, but the current study was done at room temperature.…”

“…They reported that glutaraldehyde was an acceptable disinfectant agent. 9,10 Simoes et al studied the effect of glutaraldehyde on the control of mono-and dual-species biofilms of Bacillus cereus and pseudomonas in 2011. 11 Another study done in 2008 by Retta and Saripanti showed the structure of a mathematic model for anticipating the activity of glutaraldehyde in destroying spores.…”

“…Glutaraldehyde is a high-level disinfectant, whereas chloroxylenol is a intermediate level disinfectant. 3,4 Glutaraldehyde works by changing the synthesis of proteins, DNA and RNA of microorganisms, while chloroxylenol change the cell wall and enzyme inactivation of microorganisms. A study about the disinfection effectiveness on orthodontic pliers showed that only 2% glutaraldehyde is able to decontaminate all pliers (100%), where as ethyl alcohol and water with soap are unable to decontaminate all pliers in the study.…”

“…A study about the disinfection effectiveness on orthodontic pliers showed that only 2% glutaraldehyde is able to decontaminate all pliers (100%), where as ethyl alcohol and water with soap are unable to decontaminate all pliers in the study. 4 A study about disinfection effectiveness on x-ray equipment and accessories showed 4.8% chloroxylenol and 2% dichloroxylenol have the same efficacy which is fail to decontaminate 4.9% of the total sample. 7 This study aimed to compare disinfecting effectiveness of 2% glutaraldehyde and 4.8% chloroxylenol on tooth extraction instruments that are categorized as critical items, items that are high-risk of causing infection because it penetrates to sterile tissues located under skin or mucosa membrane.…”
