Abstract

Background

This work aimed to provide evidence for the importance of regular cleaning and care of dental handpieces. In addition, this study aimed to show that automated cleaning of dental tools may deliver superior results compared with manual cleaning.

Methods

Publicly available data from the US Food and Drug Administration’s (FDA’s) Manufacturer and User Facility Device Experience (MAUDE) database on incidents in the use of dental handpieces from the past 10 years were evaluated. The cleaning results of more than 4,830 instruments were also investigated and evaluated.

Results

By evaluating the manufacturer’s information on the incidents reported in the FDA’s MAUDE database, the connection between inadequate or no maintenance and care and the incidents was clearly shown. The evaluation of the results of manual cleaning compared with automated cleaning clearly shows that better results can be achieved through automated cleaning.

Conclusions

The evaluation of the FDA’s MAUDE database confirmed and emphasized the importance of cleaning and care for the safe and long-term use of dental tools. Comparing the data from manual cleaning and the usage of a device for automated cleaning of dental handpieces, it was shown that the establishment of a quality-controlled system for in-use testing of cleaning performance could provide valuable data for assessing the efficacy of different cleaning processes. Valuable feedback for the user can be derived this way. In addition, it was shown that automated cleaning of dental handpieces is a reasonable alternative and leads to clearly better results.

清洁牙科手机

背景这项工作旨在为定期清洁和护理牙科手机的重要性提供证据。方法评估了美国食品和药物管理局（FDA）制造商和用户设施设备经验（MAUDE）数据库中关于过去 10 年中牙科手机使用事故的公开数据。结果通过评估制造商在 FDA MAUDE 数据库中报告的事故信息，清楚地显示了维护和护理不足或缺乏维护和护理与事故之间的联系。结论对美国食品药物管理局 MAUDE 数据库的评估证实并强调了清洁和护理对于牙科工具的安全和长期使用的重要性。通过比较人工清洁数据和牙科手机自动清洁设备的使用情况，我们发现建立一个质量控制系统，对使用中的清洁性能进行测试，可以为评估不同清洁过程的有效性提供有价值的数据。用户可以通过这种方式获得有价值的反馈。此外，研究还表明，牙科手机的自动清洁是一种合理的替代方法，并能带来明显更好的效果。
