摘要
The Siqveland matrix is by far the most popular in general dental practice in Scotland.Most dental practitioners do not remove and change the matrix band between patients, relying on routine instrument decontamination procedures.Time, cost and lack of perception of need were the main barriers identified to changing bands between patients.Most dentists who reponded had provided their dental nurses with training in cleaning and sterilisation of instruments.Hand-scrubbing remains a component of instrument cleaning protocols in many dental surgeries, but ultrasonic baths were used by 59% of practitioners.
