Abstract

The characteristics of dental treatment makes the dental staff frequently contact with patient directly. Also the daily use of high-handpieces, sharp instruments, and needles often causes bleeding on oral cavity. Therefore, the risk of cross transmission grows up. The pathogen from dental practice could spread on not only the practice itself but also the dental laboratory with contaminated impressions and prosthesis. Dental clinic staffs (dentists, dental hygienists and dental technicians) should recognize all the patients have a possibility of cross contamination, and try to prevent the transmission of infection by proper infection control. In this study, we review the articles about disinfection methods and chemical infection agents used for dental impressions, and try to figure out the suitable and effective infection control system of dental impressions.

치과 진료의 특성 상 치과 진료 인력의 손이 환자의 입안에 직접 접촉하는 상황이 빈번하게 발생한다. 또한 고속 절삭 도구와 날카로운 기구, 주사바늘을 일상적으로 사용하기 때문에 출혈이 동반되는 경우가 대부분이므로 교차 감염의 가능성은 매우 높다. 진료실에서의 병원체는 오염된 인상체, 보철물을 통해 치과 진료실 뿐만 아니라 치과 기공실에도 전파될 수 있다. 치과 진료 인력(치과의사, 치과위생사, 치과기공사)은 모든 환자가 교차 감염의 위험성이 있음을 인식하고 적절한 감염 관리를 통해 감염이 전파되는 것을 방지할 수 있도록 노력해야 한다. 본 논문에서는 문헌 고찰을 통하여 치과용 인상체의 소독 방법과 화학적 소독제에 대하여 고찰해 보고, 임상에서 효율적으로 적용할 수 있는 인상체의 감염 관리 방법에 대하여 알아보고자 하였다.
