| Abstract | ||
| Reusing dental implant gingival formers has become common to reduce treatment costs, but remnant biofilm biomass on these reused gingival formers can promote infection. Recent studies have found that existing cleaning and sterilization methods fail to completely eliminate biofilm. This study introduces a novel approach for cleaning and sterilizing gingival formers, significantly improving debris removal and potentially reducing the risk of infection, thereby enhancing patient safety and treatment outcomes. To assess the efficacy of hydrochloric acid solution in removing accumulated debris and sterilizing previously used dental implant gingival formers. Material and method: Forty new dental implant gingival formers were placed in patients' mouths for at least 3 weeks. They were then cleaned using two different methods: one with varying concentrations and durations of hydrochloric acid solution (HCl),and one without HCl. After cleaning and sterilization, the formers underwent Scanning electron microscopy (SEM) and microbiologic culture analysis. Results: Treatment with a hydrochloric acid solution (HCl) in the concentration of 0.05 mol/L for 10 minutes appears to have the most favorable outcomes in terms of reducing implant remnant and less surface damage. Conclusion: The application of hydrochloric acid solution (HCl) showed significant effectiveness in removing debris from the surface of used dental implant gingival formers. However,complete removal and thorough cleaning of debris remnants were not achieved, suggesting that reusing dental implant gingival formers may not be advisable. | ||
