Several different methods of file sterilization were analyzed to determine the best method of providing complete file sterility, including the metal shaft and plastic handle. Six test groups of 15 files were studied using Bacillus stearothermophilus as the test organism. Groups were "sterilized" by glutaraldehyde immersion, steam autoclaving, and various techniques of salt sterilization. Only proper steam autoclaving reliably produced completely sterile instruments. Salt sterilization and glutaraldehyde solutions may not be adequate sterilization methods for endodontic hand files and should not be relied on to provide completely sterile instruments.
分析了几种不同的锉刀消毒方法，以确定对包括金属杆和塑料手柄在内的锉刀实现完全无菌的最佳方法。使用嗜热脂肪芽孢杆菌作为测试微生物，对六个包含15支锉刀的测试组进行了研究。各测试组分别通过戊二醛浸泡、蒸汽高压灭菌和各种盐消毒技术进行“消毒”。只有适当的蒸汽高压灭菌才能可靠地产生完全无菌的器械。盐消毒和戊二醛溶液可能不是牙髓治疗手动锉刀的充分消毒方法，不应依赖它们来提供完全无菌的器械。
