The main objective of this study is to assess about the awareness, attitude, and practice regarding disinfection and handling of extracted teeth among the students of a dental college in Odisha, India.
The survey was done with a self-designed questionnaire distributed among the students of a dental college in Odisha, India. Data analysis was done using the Statistical Package for the Social Sciences Software (SPSS for Windows, Version 16.0., Released 2007, Chicago, SPSS Inc.) and the results obtained.
Of the many methods available, the safest and practical methods to sterilize and disinfect the extracted human teeth could be autoclaving, submersion in 10% formalin and 5.25% sodium hypochlorite solutions. In addition, it was found that there is a significant need to educate the potential handlers of such extracted teeth about the latest statuary protocol and guidelines.
Most of the participants in the study were aware of the established safety protocols regarding how to handle the pathogenic specimens and were putting in practice those standardized guidelines. But still another good number of handlers need to change their casual attitude while following the safety guidelines so as to protect themselves, others and the environment from the pathogenic clinical specimens.
本研究的主要目的是评估印度奥里萨邦一所牙科学院的学生对拔牙消毒及处理的认知、态度和实践情况。
通过自行设计的问卷对印度奥里萨邦一所牙科学院的学生进行调查。使用社会科学统计软件包（SPSS for Windows，版本16.0，2007年发布，芝加哥，SPSS公司）进行数据分析并得出结果。
在众多可用方法中，对拔除的人类牙齿进行灭菌和消毒的最安全实用方法可能是高压灭菌、浸泡在10%福尔马林和5.25%次氯酸钠溶液中。此外还发现，非常有必要对这类拔除牙齿的潜在处理者进行最新法规协议和指南方面的教育。
研究中的大多数参与者了解关于如何处理致病标本的既定安全规程，并在实践这些标准化指南。但仍有相当数量的处理者在遵循安全指南时需要改变其随意的态度，以保护自己、他人和环境免受致病临床标本的危害。
