Abstract
INTRODUCTION: The mouths of patients in dental practices contain many species of (pathogenic) microorganisms. Due to specific procedures in dentistry locations around the dental chair and dental tools are contaminated. The use of gloves and tools can transfer oral microorganisms to treatment unit, instruments or patients. This creates potential sources of cross contamination for patients and staff. To avoid this, there is much attention paid in the dental practice and dental education to hygiene and infection prevention. It is interesting to know how the quality of "disinfection" in successive years of study is. The aim of the study was to make a reference in terms of microbial contamination in each academic year, and to bring forth an interpretation that indicates the qualitative implementation of hygiene and infection control protocol. MATERIAL AND METHODS: The study examined three academic years of study Dentistry at the University of Groningen. Per year, samples were taken at 10 dental treatment units, which were plated on two types of agar plates. After incubation, the number of colony forming units (CFU) was described and by means of different tests was sought specifically for S. aureus, S. pyogenes and Enterobacteriaceae. RESULTS: The reference measure in terms of microbial contamination per year averaged nearly 14 CFU per site per treatment unit, with a range of 0-163 CFUs. There was no significant difference between the year of study and the degree of disinfection, in view of microbial contamination. CFUs were found which contain for dentistry possible pathogenic microorganisms asS. aureus and S. pyogenes. There were also Enterobacteriaceae and spore-forming microorganisms and fungi found. Nevertheless, it has been shown possible to adequately disinfect 20% of the locations when a CTM protocol was used. Afstudeerscriptie
