Resumo
The aim of this analytical study was to evaluate the effectiveness of dry heat as a
sterilizing equipment in dental offices with regard to: the packing of the load, the
time and temperature used, the use of biological and chemical monitoring in the
sterilization control as well as the performing of preventive maintenance. The data
were obtained from 101 dental offices in the Central District of Goiânia, Goiás,
Brazil, through the following procedures: use of check-list and interview; checking
the temperature of the dry heat and performing the biological monitoring.The
results showed that most of the people in charge of the article sterilization in dry
heat performed it without the folowing proceedings proclaimed by Health Ministry:
adequate package disposal, monitoring by accessory thermometer, performance
of indicated cycles and accomplishment of preventive maintenance. The results
also showed that the most significant intervening factors for the quality of
sterilization were both the no accomplishment of chamber monitoring by accessory
thermometer and time/temperature relationship indicated for sterilization cycle. In
addition, dry heat was not effective for 46 (45,5%) dental offfices investigated,
confirming other studies which concluded that dry heat is an equipment
susceptible to sterilization failure and its effectiveness is close related to the
accomplishment of the proclaimed loading and sterilization which depend on
human action.
