Avaliação da desinfecção de filmes radiográficos periapicais utilizando diferentes soluções
Abstract
Avaliou-se, neste estudo, a desinfecção de filmes radiográficos contaminados na cavidade bucal de 7 pacientes voluntários. Foram testados os desinfetantes hipoclorito de sódio a 1% e álcool a 70%, durante 3min de imersão e 30s de fricção e, ainda, glutaraldeído a 2%, somente por imersão durante 3min. Após a desinfecção dos filmes realizou-se a impressão dos mesmos sobre placas com meio BHI ágar enriquecido com vitamina K-hemina a 1%. As placas foram encubadas e a avaliação foi realizada através do crescimento ou não de colônias bacterianas. Observou-se amplo crescimento bacteriano nas placas controle que não receberam tratamento com soluções desinfetantes, o mesmo não ocorrendo nos grupos experimentais. Concluiu-se que todas as soluções testadas nos diferentes tempos e métodos promoveram a desinfecção dos filmes radiográficos.
UNITERMOS: desinfecção; filme radiográfico; desinfetantes.
SUMMARY
This study evaluated the disinfection of radiographic films contaminated in the mouth of seven patients who volunteered to take part. The solutions tested were 1% sodium hypochlorite and 70% alcohol, in immersion for 3 minutes and rubbed for 30 seconds and also immersion in 2% glutaraldehyde for 3 minutes. After desinfection the impression of the films was performed on plates containing BHI agar medium enriched with 1% vitamin K-hemin. The plates were incubated and the evaluation was conducted by observing the presence or absence of bacterial colonies growth. It was observed a wide bacterial growth in the control plates that had not been treated with the desinfectant solutions, which did not occur in the experimental groups. It was concluded that all solutions tested through the different periods and methods did promote the desinfection of the radiographic films.
UNITERMS: disinfection solutions; radiographic film.
