Sterilization
We at Malhan Dental Clinic follow all the sterilization procedures needed for infection control to prevent the transmission of AIDS virus and other infectious diseases. Needless to say that the disposables like needles, syringes, glasses, patient’s drapes are all for one time usage and are the discarded. For the non-disposable instruments we follow the following sterilization protocol
