Abstract

Background: The application of disinfectants on dental instruments is one way to prevent cross-infection. The urgency in this research is ozone water as a disinfectant is still limited and no research has been found on the use of ozone water on tooth extraction instruments. However, ozone has antibacterial properties so researchers are interested in studying the effectiveness of ozone water as a disinfectant when compared to the commonly used 4.8% chloroxylenol. This study aimed to determine the effectiveness of disinfection of ozone water and 4.8% chloroxylenol in reducing the number of bacterial colonies on dental extraction instruments at the Universitas Sumatera Utara Dental and Oral Hospital.

Methods: The samples used were mandibular molar forceps have been used in tooth extraction procedures. This study was experimental and used 30 sample, where each group consisted of 10 tooth extraction instruments. The treatment group used ozone water and 4.8% chloroxylenol and the negative control group was cleaned with distilled water. The ozone water group was produced with an ozone generator with a concentration of 15 mg/L for 20 minutes. Then the active side of tooth extraction forceps was soaked for 30 minutes. In the 4.8% chloroxylenol (dettol®) group, the active side of the mandibular molar tooth extraction forceps was soaked in 250 mL for 60 minutes. In the control group, the mandibular molar tooth extraction forceps were rinsed with distilled water. After that, the sample was counted using a bactery colony counter.

Results: The results of the data analysis showed a p-value ≤0.001, which means there was a significant difference in the disinfection using ozone water and 4.8% chloroxylenol on the number of bacterial colonies on dental extraction instruments.

Conclusions: From this study it can be said that ozone water is more effective in disinfecting than 4.8% chloroxylenol.

臭氧水与氯二酚：苏门答腊北方大学口腔医院拔牙器械消毒效果与菌落数量的比较

背景：在口腔器械上使用消毒剂是预防交叉感染的一种方法。本研究的紧迫性在于臭氧水作为消毒剂的作用仍然有限，目前还没有关于臭氧水在拔牙器械上使用的研究。然而，臭氧具有抗菌特性，因此研究人员有兴趣研究臭氧水作为消毒剂的有效性，将其与常用的4.8%氯二醇进行比较。本研究旨在确定臭氧水和4.8%氯二醇消毒对减少苏门答腊北方大学口腔医院拔牙器械上细菌菌落数量的效果。方法：所使用的样品是在拔牙过程中使用的下颌磨牙钳。本研究是实验性的，使用30个样本，每组10个拔牙器械。治疗组采用臭氧水加4.8%氯二醇清洗，阴性对照组采用蒸馏水清洗。臭氧发生器生成浓度为15 mg/L的臭氧水组，持续20分钟。然后将拔牙钳主动侧浸泡30分钟。4.8%氯二醇（dettol®）组，下颌磨牙拔牙钳活动侧在250 mL中浸泡60分钟。对照组用蒸馏水冲洗下颌磨牙拔牙钳。之后，使用细菌菌落计数器对样品进行计数。结果：数据分析结果p值≤0.001，说明臭氧水消毒与4.8%氯二醇消毒对拔牙器械菌落数有显著差异。结论：臭氧水的消毒效果优于4.8%氯二醇。
