The growing prevalence of dental ailments (edentulism, dental caries, and other periodontal diseases), the increasing demand from the cosmetics dentistry, the increasing number of dental surgeries, and the increasing risks of cross-transmission are the prime factors responsible for the growth of the dental sterilization market, currently.
In dentistry, it is very important to have an effective and efficient way of controlling any type of infection in order to ensure the patient’s wellbeing. There are various infection control programs that are initiated for this purpose that are increasing the awareness about the cleaning and sterilization of dental devices and instruments. Also, infection prevention in dentistry is a significant issue, which has gained more interest in recent years. Moreover, guidelines for the prevention of cross-transmission are common practice in many countries. However, little is known about the real risks of cross-transmission, specifically in dental healthcare settings. There is a confirmation that the Hepatitis B virus is a real threat to cross-infection in dentistry.
Advances in dental device sterilization are among the major factors augmenting the growth of the market. An example of one of these devices is the Miele Dental Washer disinfector that washes, rinses, disinfects, and dries as a one-step solution prior to sterilization. Midmark M9 Ultraclave is the most thorough sterilization technique for ensuring the patient’s safety. Furthermore, a new antimicrobial technique has been developed at the Tohoku University Graduate School of Dentistry, 2016, which is based on H₂O₂ photolysis. This technique utilizes free radicals, which eliminate pathogenic bacteria during sterilization.
