Comparison of Bacterial Count in Unsterilised Plastic Cups Vs Autoclaved Stainless Steel Cups
Journal Title: Journal of Medical Science And clinical Research - Year 2016, Vol 4, Issue 6
Abstract
AIM: The aim of this study is to compare the presence of bacterial count in unsterilized plastic cups Vs autoclaved stainless steel cups. OBJECTIVE: This study helps in finding out a best alternative for unsterilized plastic cups used in dental practices. BACKGROUND: Unsterilized plastic cups are now very commonly used in dental practices. The major drawback for using those cups is that they cannot be sterilized or disinfected. These plastic cups are stored in an environment where they get contaminated by aerosols. Furthermore there is no effective way to dispose or recycle them and they end up in landfills or burnt, which in turn releases harmful carcinogens into the soil, water and air. Therefore, it becomes mandatory and the need of the hour to find a sustainable alternative for plastic cups used in dental practice.
