About this document

Microbial Risks in Resin Composite Handling by khamilatusy is a document available to read on EtoBox.

1) The study evaluated microbial contamination of resin composites inside their dispensers, which poses a risk of cross-infection. 2) A survey of dentists found most use the same spatula to place resin composite from the syringe into the cavity, which could spread contamination. 3) An in vitro experiment exposed uncured resin composites to microbes and found contamination on all resin composites, with levels depending on the microbe and material type. Photocuring did not reduce contamination.
