Abstract

Sterilization is the process of removing all microorganisms from a product, surface, or medium, whether they are in vegetative or spore form. Every day, the orthodontist, or any clinician for that matter, and his employees are exposed to a wide range of patients with a variety of contagious diseases. Now in the current scenario, coronavirus disease is one of the most dangerous. Coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19) is a communicable infection. It is caused by the coronavirus. This causes Severe Acute Respiratory Syndrome (SARS-CoV-2). At the start of 2020, it became a global pandemic, hitting more than 200 nations and territories. The disease is extremely infectious, with asymptomatic carriers, including kids, being recorded as disease carriers. For an orthodontist and his staff, the working distance is in inches. For them, it is not possible to follow this protocol of social distancing in the clinic with their patients. This article discusses several sterilizing procedures while concentrating on the principles for a successful and efficient orthodontic practice.
