Sterilization and Disinfection Standards
Sterilization describes a process that destroys or eliminates all forms of microbial life. Disinfection describes a process that eliminates many or all pathogenic microorganisms. Both dental sterilization and disinfection must be consistently performed in order to maintain safe dentistry.
Unlike your typical dental clinic, dedicated nurse monitors and checks on dental sterilization efforts.
Guidelines to Prevent Flu, Infections Diseases and COVID
Our award-winning dental hospital and dental clinic abides by evident-based practices set out by validated organizations. Guidelines used are based on the CDC, WHO, AAMI, ADA are updated and imposed within our operations.
We employ hospital standards for the safe dentistry whilst you receive dental treatment with us:
Strict sterilization processes and policies and controls are used at our center. Its standards are based on established scientific principles by organization that include:
- American standards by Center of Disease Controls (CDC)
- World Health Organization (WHO)
- American Dental Association (ADA)
- Association for Professionals in Infection Control and Epidemiology (APIC)
- Association of periOperative Registered Nurses (AORN)
- Association for the Advancement of Medical Instrumentation (AAMI)
- US Food & Drug Administration (FDA)
We employ standards beyond required basics in Thailand.
Water quality can affect cleaning, disinfection and the sterilization processes. BIDH checks our water quality. Initial rinsing uses tap water, but during the final rinsing of cleaned medical devices, treated water is used.
Ions, microorganisms, organics within water quality are checked.
Dental instruments undergo several layers of cleaning. Dental instruments are initially soak in rapid multi-enzyme detergent that pre-disinfects human secretions. Thereafter, the instruments are placed in ultrasonic cleaners to remoe tiny or invisible dirt. This is followd by autoclaving in vaccum suction units.
Chemical indicators double confirm that all instruments used at BIDH are sterile and that our autoclave machines are performing effectively. Machine cycles at BIDH is tracked and recorded.
All autoclaved instruments are checked with internal and external labels. Expiry dates mark each individual packs. We use a Class 5 level check, the highest level of sterilization examination.
Sterilized clean instruments are consistently kept under controlled cool temperatures and humidity to prevent bacteria growth. Backup generators are in place should a power supply disturbance occur.
Autoclave pressure-steam machines or autoclaves does not guarantee total sterilization. Our dental hospital has a double-level verifcition system using biological checks on top of chemical checks for critical instruments and equipment.
Single-use disposable towels that contains high level disinfectants are used with our dental units during cleaning. Our pre-selected high level disinfectant used for cleaning at our dental hospital is clinically certified to be effective against bacteria.
