Examination of the Quality of the Manual Pre-Sterilization Processing of Dental Instruments Using Benzidine Test

The risk of infections in dental practices has been attracting for decades the interest of researchers from all over the world. A serious problem related to the transmission of blood-borne viruses is the thorough removal of organic matter, and mainly blood, from dental instruments when performing ma...
