Introduction:
In order to avoid the spread of pathogens from patient to health care personnel and laboratory assistants,it is the duty of health care personnel to disinfect the infection . In this pandemic scenario it is a necessity to critically evaluate the efficiency of the impression disinfectant to implement in our clinical practice.
Aim and Objective:
To evaluate the impression disinfectant (iodophor,povidone iodine, 2% of glutaraldehyde).
Materials and Methods:
Sample from 9 patients, Bioluminometer swabs were used then disinfectants were used to disinfect the infection.
Results and Conclusion:
Totally 3 disinfectants are used for the efficiency of disinfecting the infection on the alginate impressions. In this study I conclude that glutaraldehyde could be an effective disinfectant for impression disinfection for its use in clinical dentistry.
