Brite Smiles Dental Clinic

A dental autoclave serves as a crucial machine for ensuring proper sanitation of dental equipment after each use. It employs high-pressure temperature and steam to effectively eliminate debris and bacteria, ensuring highly efficient and safe sterilization of instruments.

What is it?

The dental autoclave functions as a steam sterilizer by utilizing a vacuum pump to eliminate air/steam mixtures from the chamber before the sterilization cycle commences.

Precautions We Take:

1. Autoclave – Steam Sterilizer: All instruments capable of withstanding high heat are autoclaved, effectively killing infectious bacteria and viruses. Handpieces (commonly referred to as “drills”) and burs (“drill bits”) are autoclaved after each use.
