BACKGROUND: Dental handpieces (DHPs) are reusable invasive medical devices that must be cleaned, decontaminated, lubricated and steam sterilized after use. DHPs have a complex internal design including narrow channels, contamination of which can compromise sterilization. DHPs are not designed for routine disassembly, making cleaning/decontamination efficacy difficult to monitor. Washer-disinfection is the preferred method of decontaminating DHPs, but few studies have investigated its direct effectiveness at reducing microbial contamination internally.
AIMS: To use contra-angle DHPs as a model system to investigate the effectiveness of washer-disinfection at reducing microbial contamination of internal components of multiple DHPs.
METHODS: The air and water channels and heads of 10 disassembled contra-angle DHPs (BienAir, Biel/Bienne, Switzerland) were inoculated separately with 108 colony forming units (cfu) of Pseudomanas aeruginosa, Staphylococcus aureus, Enterococcus hirae or Candida albicans in the presence of 0.3% bovine serum albumin (BSA) (clean conditions), 3.0% BSA or 10% artificial test soil (dirty conditions). After reassembly, all 10 DHPs underwent washer-disinfection simultaneously in a Míele (Míele Ireland Ltd., Dublin, Ireland) PG8528 washer-disinfector and were tested for reductions in micro-organisms and protein. Additional experiments were undertaken with three lubricated DHPs inoculated with S. aureus and 10% test soil. All experiments were repeated in triplicate.
FINDINGS: On average, an approximate 5 log or greater reduction in microbial cfu and a >93% reduction in protein from DHP heads and channels was consistently recorded following washer-disinfection for all DHPs under all conditions tested.
CONCLUSIONS: The internal components of multiple DHPs can be effectively cleaned and decontaminated by washer-disinfection.
