Introduction : Infection control is an important concept in the present day practice of dentistry. The prosthodontists are at an added risk of transmission because of the infection spreading through the contaminated lab equipments while working in the lab. The purpose of this study is to evaluate the effect of UV light disinfection on dimensional stability of polyvinyl siloxane impressions. Materials and Methods : Impressions were made in perforated custom tray. After polymerization of impression, half the samples were disinfected in UV light and remaining samples were not subjected to disinfection and poured in die stone which served as control group. Linear dimensions were measured on the cast with travelling microscope of 0.001accuracy. Result : The result showed that UV light disinfectant showed no significant dimensional changes on impressions. Conclusion : Hence, it can be safely used to disinfect impressions in clinical prosthodontic procedures. recommendations for disinfecting dental impressions presented by center of disease control and ADA are to be followed for all the patients. When considering the methods for disinfection two factors are important [3] – 1. Efficacy of disinfection process. 2. Effect of disinfection procedure on properties of impression materials. |
