Optimizing Dental Outcomes: The Significance of Compatibility of Dental Impression Materials to Dental Impression Disinfectants
Dental impressions are the cornerstone of personalized dental care, providing a detailed mold of a patient›s oral structures for various treatments like crowns, bridges, and braces. The accuracy of these impressions is paramount, ensuring precise fits and comfortable patient experiences. One often overlooked aspect crucial to this precision is the compatibility between dental impression materials and disinfectants. Choosing a disinfectant specifically designed to work seamlessly with the impression material is vital. It guarantees that the impressions remain intact, free from distortion, while ensuring thorough disinfection to prevent cross-contamination. This compatibility not only preserves the integrity of the impressions but also upholds the highest standards of hygiene, safeguarding both the dental professionals and patients.
A Dual Purpose of Dental Impression Disinfectants – Unwavering Dimensional Stability and Disinfection Effectivenes
Dentistry through the centuries has always aimed at providing relief from pain, treating loss of function and correcting unaesthetic appearance. The dental impression is the first milestone in the sequence of procedures performed for the fabrication of any prosthesis. Dental impressions, which are used to create a negative form of the human dentition – teeth, hard and soft oral tissues – are a crucial prerequisite for the successful manufacturing of different types of oral appliances.
As dental impressions are taken intraorally by dentists and must then be transported to the dental laboratory technician, who further processes them to create positive reproduction of the teeth and other oral tissues, they must be considered as a potential source of infection in dental practice. Upon removing dental impressions from the patient’s mouth, the impression material contains saliva and blood, which is the source of infection. Hence, disinfection is of utmost importance to avoid cross contamination between the laboratory and clinic and cross infection between dental professionals.
By their composition, impression materials are divided into three major groups: nonaqueous elastomers, hydrocolloids, and inelastic materials. Elastomers include polysulfide, condensation and addition silicone and polyether. Hydrocolloids are alginate and agar. Inelastic materials comprise impression compound, plaster of Paris, and zinc oxide-eugenol (ZOE).
The common practice of rinsing dental impressions with running water prior to delivery to the lab removes debris but does not efficiently reduce the microbial load of the material, and therefore does not reduce the risk of cross-infection. Both the British and American Dental Associations emphasize the importance of disinfection of dental impressions as any bacteria left after disinfection can contaminate the gypsum cast.
Various methods of disinfection have been developed to date. Since no sole disinfectant can be designated as a universal disinfectant for all impression materials, it is fundamental to select an ideal disinfectant agent with superior antimicrobial activity that does not disturb the recorded features, such as surface characteristics or dimensional stability of an impression material.
Hence, a dental impression disinfectant possesses a dual purpose: it needs to be an effective antimicrobial agent but also produce no adverse effect on the dimensional accuracy of the impression material and resultant gypsum model. The latter is of significance to deliver a functional and wellfitting finished appliance. Investing in a compatible dental impression disinfectant is an essential step toward ensuring optimal outcomes in dental procedures, promoting accuracy, and patient well-being. At Oro Clean Chemie AG, we strive for a balance between effectiveness and compatibility for optimal results.
FAQ
-
How is the exposure time determined for disinfectants?
European standards specify the required exposure times for disinfectants to achieve their claimed efficacy. The standards provide detailed instructions on the duration of contact between the disinfectant and the microorganism to ensure effective inactivation or reduction.
-
What's the main goal of the EN 14885:2022 document, especially in a medical context?
EN 14885:2022 serves as a comprehensive guide for chemical disinfectants and antiseptics, especially in the medical field. It outlines the standards for testing these products to ensure they are effective and safe for use in various medical settings, like hospitals and clinics. The document helps manufacturers validate their product claims, assists users in selecting appropriate products, and guides regulatory authorities in evaluating these products.
-
Can you explain the difference between 'with mechanical action' and 'without mechanical action' in EN 14885:2022?
With mechanical action" refers to the process of physically wiping a surface or object with a disinfectant, enhancing the removal of microbes. This is common in settings where thorough cleaning is necessary. "Without mechanical action" means applying the disinfectant without any physical aid, for example through spraying. This method relies solely on the chemical properties of the disinfectant to kill or deactivate microbes. The choice between these methods depends on the specific requirements of the healthcare setting and the type of surface being disinfected.
-
Are there any best practices for testing the compatibility of a new disinfectant with healthcare materials?
Best practices for testing a new disinfectant include conducting spot tests on a small, inconspicuous area of the material, monitoring for any adverse reactions, and verifying the results against the disinfectant's material compatibility chart. It's also recommended to consult with the disinfectant manufacturer for any specific testing protocols or guidelines they may provide.
-
What is EN ISO 21530 and how does it relate to the use of disinfectants in healthcare?
EN ISO 21530 is a standard that specifies the requirements and test methods for assessing the compatibility of disinfectants with the materials used in medical devices. Its main objective is to ensure that the physical and chemical properties of medical device materials are maintained even after repeated disinfection processes. This ensures that the products can continue to be used safely and effectively in the healthcare sector.
-
How does EN ISO 21530 influence the selection of disinfectants for medical devices?
EN ISO 21530 has a significant impact on the selection of medical device disinfectants by providing healthcare providers with clear information on which disinfectants have been thoroughly tested and proven to have no harmful effects on the materials used in their medical devices. This enables professionals to select disinfectants that will not compromise the integrity or functionality of the devices and therefore maintain the highest safety standards.
-
We thoroughly rinse all impressions with water immediately after their removal from the patient’s mouth. Do we still need to disinfect them before sending them to the technician?
Impressions become highly contaminated with oral bacteria, respiratory pathogens, saliva, and probably blood. Rinsing with water will not completely remove or inactivate microorganisms. Therefore, dental impressions and forms should only leave the dental practice after careful disinfection with a suitable product.

Note
-
No visible surface damage or effect on the material is likely to occur when used according to label directions. No change to the integrity of the material is expected.
-
Some visible surface damage such as tarnishing or clouding may be seen with long-term exposure. Little to no effect on material intergrity is expected. Periodic wiping of surfaces with a clean damp cloth to remove residue can help to minimize damage.
-
Visible damage to the surface is likely to occur with long-term exposure and some effect on material integrity is possible. Surfaces should be wiped with a clean damp cloth immediately after the contact time has been reached to reduce the risk of damage. Users should evaluate the risk of surface damage vs the benefits of disinfectant efficacy against pathogens to determine whether the products is appropriate for use.
