Infection Control in the Dental Practice with Emphasis on Intraoral Scanners and Semi-Critical Complex Instruments

ABSTRACT: We present an integrative review of the literature conducted to find and analyse specific measures for disinfection and/or sterilization of intraoral complex instruments, applicable to intraoral scanners. We performed a two-stage search in the PubMed/MEDLINE, SciELO, REDALYCS, and LILACS d...
