| Environmental contamination of dental surfaces is a major vector for cross-infection. Ultraviolet-C (UVC) irradiation provides rapid, chemical-free decontamination; however, depending on wavelength and ventilation conditions, ozone generation may occur. This study evaluated the germicidal efficacy of UVC on three high-touch surfaces: a wooden work table, a stainless-steel consumables table, and a dental unit table. Read more. |
