The study on sterilization of orthodontic pliers by using glass bead sterilizer at 450 F was performed. Microorganisms used in this experiment were Staphylococcus aureus ATCC 25933, Bacillus subtilis ATCC 6633, Candida albicans ATCC 10231 and mixed microorganisms in human saliva. The result showed that after the pliers were scrubbed with alcohol and sterilized for 3 minutes with glass bead sterilizer, all vegetative cells and bacterial spores were killed in every test. This study indicated that glass bead sterilizer is capable of sterilizing orthodontic pliers and can be a useful adjunct when rapid chairside sterilization is desired.
进行了使用玻璃珠消毒器在450华氏度对正畸钳进行消毒的研究。本实验中使用的微生物有金黄色葡萄球菌ATCC 25933、枯草芽孢杆菌ATCC 6633、白色念珠菌ATCC 10231以及人唾液中的混合微生物。结果显示，正畸钳用酒精擦拭并用玻璃珠消毒器消毒3分钟后，每次测试中所有的营养细胞和细菌芽孢均被杀死。本研究表明，玻璃珠消毒器能够对正畸钳进行消毒，并且在需要快速椅旁消毒时可以作为一种有用的辅助工具。
