The present survey is a repetition of a 1987 survey examining the sterilization/disinfection procedures of Georgia's orthodontists. The purpose of this study is to examine the trends in orthodontic sterilization/disinfection procedures. Orthodontists in Georgia have dramatically changed their sterilization and disinfection procedures. The major changes represented are greater use of protective barrier wear by doctor and staff members; increased heat sterilization methods for instruments, pliers, and handpieces; and increased disinfection of alginate impressions.
本次调查是对1987年一项调查的重复，那次调查研究了佐治亚州正畸医生的灭菌/消毒程序。本研究的目的是考察正畸灭菌/消毒程序的发展趋势。佐治亚州的正畸医生已大幅改变了他们的灭菌和消毒程序。所呈现的主要变化包括医生和工作人员更多地使用防护屏障；增加了对器械、钳子和机头的热灭菌方法；以及增加了藻酸盐印模的消毒。
