Abstract/OtherAbstract:
OBJECTIVE: To investigate the viral contamination of invasive medical instruments in dentistry and to provide health administrative institutions with surveillance data. METHODS: Sterilized samples were randomly collected from the department of dentistry to detect HBV-DNA, HCV-RNA, HIV-RNA and HBsAg. RESULTS: Of the invasive medical instruments that were sterilized with 2% glutaraldehyde, one of the samples was positive for HBV-DNA, and another sample was positive for HBsAg. CONCLUSION: Though massive virus contamination of invasive medical instruments in dentistry has been reduced to a low level, the occurrence of contamination still remains.
