摘要
Of 133 decontaminated Siqveland matrices recovered from general dental practices, residual blood was detected on 21% of the matrix bands and 19% of the retainers.Ultrasonic baths were significantly more effective than hand scrubbing for removal of blood.Adequate pre-sterilisation cleaning cannot be achieved reliably, if Siqveland matrices are re-processed in the assembled state.
