Print This PostDr. T. asks:
I have been trying to improve the efficiency of my endodontic procedures and I want to start using stainless steel boxes made by Medidenta to hold my endo files. We have been placing one set of files in gauze and then autoclaving that. But I find that I sometimes need more than one file of a particular size so then we have to open another pack of files. So boxes from Medidenta may prove very helpful.
But the stainless steel boxes I have looked at all have lids that fit over the bottom half and seem to create like a water-tight seal. So how does the steam get inside to sterilize the files? These steel seamless boxes do not have any holes in them so how do you know you are getting enough steam inside the box to sterilize the files?

Ideally endodontic files should be of single use only due to the possible link between the root canal bacteris and mad cow disease or vaiant Cjd
what i do i that i place my endo instruments in an open steel dappen dish and then auto clave it. I think it works quite good.
