Abstract

ENGELMANN, Adriana Inês et al. Evaluation of procedures performed by suregen-dentists from Cascavel state of Parana and surroundings for biossecurity control. Odontol. Clín.-Cient. (Online) [online]. 2010, vol.9, n.2, pp. 161-165. ISSN 1677-3888.

The purpose of this study was to assess which procedures are performed by surgeons-dentists from Cascavel city and surroundings aiming maintenance of the biosecurity in a dentist's office. The study was conducted by the application of a questionnaire containing multiple-choice questions, about methods of sterilization and disinfection and their frequency, technical barriers to direct protection of the surgeon-dentist and assistant and the barrels of indirect protection, even in routine procedures performed in clinics. The results showed that, in general, the professionals adopt the methods advocated for effective protection. We conclude that the vast majority of professionals are concerned with biosecurity and adopt the measures recommended. However, there is still considering whether there are flaws in the control process, either by negligence or by the professional difficulties in deploying the methods described in the literature as effective in maintaining the aseptic chain.
