Antigen markers shown by 3 abbreviations:
 HBsAg - surface antigen – sick-highly produced,
covers all particle and varion surfaces
 Presence = active HBV infection-exposure---NOT
INFECTIOUS! Present for 6 mos = chronic infection
 HBeAg – if persistent + in blood, development of
chronic HBV infection…Infective portion of
virus…ability to infect others
not for diagnosis, just amt of infectivity & early &
active disease
 HBcAg – core antigen…active viral
reproduction…found in liver cells
 All mean antigen + = illness

Hep B Virus

Gram

Danish Man Discovered Staining Bacteria for
Visability

A. Gram + = Retains Dye, Turns Purple

Modes of Disease
Transmission

Direct Transmission = person to person contact

Example: droplets that spread through
sneezing or coughing, or even by spatter
produced during dental procedure –
Unprotected contact with an infectious
lesion or infected body fluids such as
blood, saliva, semen & other secretions.
Diseases such as Hepatitis, herpes, HIV, TB
are spread through direct contact.
Indirect Transmission

When microorganisms first are transmitted
to an object or surface, and then are
transferred to another person who
touches those objects or surfaces.

Example: touching chart or x-rays with
dirty gloves and then receptionist handles
with bare hands.

Saliva on a dental film (from mouth to film
to assistant)
Airborne Transmission

AKA Droplet Infection

Spread of disease through droplets of
moisture that contain bacteria or viruses.

Example: pathogens carried long
distances through the air and ventilation
systems (airplanes)

Coughing & Sneezing
Blood-Borne Transmissions

Direct or Indirect

Contact with blood and other body fluids (that
may contain blood)

Examples: Saliva, needles, instruments,
unprotected sex
More examples of
transmission

Disease Transmission


A. Droplet – Moisture, Talking, Sneezing, Coughing,
Highspeed Handpiece
Droplets Transmit: Colds, Flu, Measles, Chicken
Pox, Whooping Cough, TB, Diptheria.
Infection Control DENT 133
C. Indirect Transmission: Dirty Hands,
Contaminated Articles (Towels,
Instruments, Dust), **needle sticks
D. Self-Infection – Bacteria in
Mouth, during procedures, oral
surgery, flossing, hygiene
appointments, etc. Enters
Bloodstream, & becomes systemic
(potential for Endocarditis)
Infection Control DENT 133

E. Operator – Auxiliary or Dr. Infects Patient, or Vice
Versa Through Nose, Mouth, etc.

F. Personal Contact – Person to Person (ie., STD)

G. Cross-Contamination – Passing Infection From
One Person to Another
Parenteral Transmission

Occurs when an infectious agent is spread
through breaks in the skin

Examples: needle stick, cuts, abrasions, bites, and
scrapes

Hepatitis & HIV can transmit this way
Food/Water/Oral/Fecal
Transmission

Examples: Contaminated food, unsanitary
conditions, improper handwashing, undercooked food, human or animal feces, daycare
workers, careless food handlers….

Sterilization

All Forms of Life Completely Destroyed

Absolute – Sterile is Sterile

4 Major Methods of Sterilization

1. Autoclave (Statim, Midmark)

Uses Steamed, Distilled Water

Super Heated Steam Under Pressure
Infection Control DENT 133

(Autoclave, con’t)

Boiling Point of Water, Under Pressure

121 Degrees Celsius; 15 Pounds Pressure

20-30 Minutes (or 3-5) Statim (Unwrapped)

Most Economical

Disadvantage = Carbon Steel Rusts
Infection Control DENT 133

2. Dry Heat

Method of Choice for Rusting Instruments

160-170 C (320-340 F) – 120 Minutes

150 C 150 Minutes

121 C Overnight
Infection Control DENT 133

3. Chemical Vapor (Chemiclave)

Chemical Sterilization = Heat Under Presssure Using
Chemicals, Including Formaldehyde, Not Water

132 C (270 F) & 30 PSI – 20 Minutes

Won’t Rust Instruments Like Autoclave
Infection Control DENT 133

4. Chemical Sterilization (Immersion)

Glutaraldehyde – Banicide

Immersed 6-10 Hours (Instructions)

Only for Instruments That Cannot Be Autoclaved
(Which Ones?)
Infection Control DENT 133

3 Other Sterilization Method:

1. Hot Oil


Oil/Silicone Fluid Heated to 160 C (320 F)
2. Hot Beads/Salt Beads/Glass Beads

For Endo Instruments & Burs

Used Chairside for 10-15 Seconds

450 F
Infection Control DENT 133

3. Ethylene Oxide Gas


Cloth, Plastic, Rubber, Hoses ok

Disadvantages: Expensive, Problems Dispersing

1. Dilution

2. Time of Exposure
Infection Control DENT 133


3. Temperature

4. PH (Acid, Alkaline Balance)

5. Objects – the smoother the faster

6. Depends on Manufacturers Instructions

7. Type of Microorganism (debris)
Germicidals Will Not Kill Spores
Infection Control DENT 133

4 Tips to Decide What Sterilization Technique to
Use:

Supply of Instruments – How Many Do You Have?
Turn Around Time?

Number of Patients Treated Daily

Availability & $ of Disposables

Compatibility of Materials Sterilized (Melt?)
Infection Control DENT 133

Carbon Steel Instruments Must Be Sterilized By Dry
Heat or Ethylene Oxide, Or Will Rust

Glutaraldehydes Are Never Used for Surface
Disinfection – Toxic Fumes

Cold Cure Acrylic Monomers Are Potentially
Hazardous
Infection Control DENT 133

To Reduce Mercury Poisoning, Use PreCapsulated Amalgam

Pericoronitis is NOT Hazardous in the Workplace

Need to Screen for HBV Periodically

Intact Skin is the Primary Protection Against
Disease
Infection Control DENT 133


Change PPE Daily or Must Use Disposables After
Each Patient

Gloves

Masks

Minimum 95% bacterial filtration efficiency

Change every 20 min. heavy use or 1 hr. normal use


Protozoa – simple celled microscopic animal

Virus –

Bacteria – single cell

Fungi -
Waterlines should have no more than amount of
bacteria –ALARA - = or less than 500 CFU (colony

Surgical Scrub – how many minutes?
7mins plus 7 mins = 14mins (sterile towel)
Ultrasonic not working? Ck with alum foil - pitting
Working Controls


the manner in which a task is performed

ie: Wearing PPE
Engineering Controls



ie: Sharps container


Dispose of in a DRY airtight container

Hazardous disposal company will provide
container

Always wear PPE when opening & closing
container!!!!!!!!! Vapors 

We no longer store in a liquid!!! There is no way to
dispose of the liquid
Wicking

Absorption of a liquid by capillary action along a
thread or other material

ie: penetration of liquid through an undetected
hole in a glove


OR
See next slide!
Wicking Con’t

Handling processed items before they are
completely dry! If items are wet it increases the
chance of wicking contaminants into the
processed sterilization package.

Hot packages can act like wicks absorbing
moisture and possibly bacteria from hands,
therefore cooling is a critical part of sterilization.
