How do you say to eliminate the oral anesthesia syringe?
During the diagnosis and treatment of oral diseases, the patient’s saliva, blood, and other substances directly contaminate various
instruments and the hands of medical staff; When dental mobile phones, dental cleaning machines, and three purpose guns are
stopped from use, water flow and airflow can cause contamination of the internal water and air channels of the dental comprehensive
treatment table; The aerosols generated during the high-speed rotation of dental phones can pollute the air in the consultation room.
We usually pay more attention to the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of dental phones and other items.
Today, let’s learn together how to clean, disinfect, and sterilize the often overlooked oral anesthesia syringes?
It can be seen that the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of oral instruments are extremely important. We usually pay more
attention to the cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization of dental phones and other items. Today, let’s learn together how to clean,
disinfect, and sterilize the often overlooked oral anesthesia syringes?
Firstly, let’s start with the basic concepts. What is an oral anesthesia syringe? The oral anesthesia syringe is an injection instrument
used for injecting articaine anesthesia into the oral cavity. It is made of high-quality stainless steel and comes with a disposable needle.
The needle has a slender diameter, minimal tissue trauma, and is more conducive to periodontal membrane injection. The reason why
it is designed in this shape is that this metal cylinder is equivalent to a gun, and the anesthetic is like a “bullet” stuck inside the metal
cylinder. So, doctors also refer to anesthesia syringes as “Bi Lan guns”. The specialized needles for anesthesia syringes are thin and
effective. In the early stages, when the price of BiLan anesthesia was expensive and the supply channels were not smooth, some
dentists only used it for children or people who were particularly afraid of pain; Nowadays, dentists are generally using Bilianma, which
can ensure treatment effectiveness, reduce intraoperative bleeding, reduce patient pain, and improve the medical experience, so it is
quite common.
This type of oral anesthesia syringe has a detachable needle and syringe, and the needle is disposable. Someone has a question. Is it
okay to change the needle instead of the anesthesia syringe? Although the anesthesia syringe does not come into direct contact with
the wound, when using anesthesia before surgery, the doctor will hold the needle handle and push the medication, which may come
into contact with the anesthesia syringe, and the anesthesia syringe may contaminate the patient’s oral secretions. Another situation is
that when anesthesia is added during surgery, the anesthesia syringe may be contaminated with blood and come into direct contact
with the wound when it enters the mouth again. This also requires the anesthesia syringe to reach a sterile level. So, changing only the
needle without changing the anesthesia syringe does not meet the regulatory requirements.
Oral instruments are mostly tubular instruments with high requirements for disinfection and sterilization.
The mastery of cross infection
knowledge, as well as the awareness and behavior of oral medical staff in preventing infection, directly affect the effective control of
hospital infections. Dental instruments must achieve “one person, one use, one sterilization/disinfection”. Therefore, in order to prevent
the occurrence of infections in dental clinics, it is necessary to strengthen the training of dental medical personnel on hospital
infection knowledge, ensure the disinfection and sterilization effect of oral instruments, and at the same time, improve the self-
protection awareness of medical personnel.
