Disinfection efficiency of N-doped nano-TiO2 on the curing light-guide rods / 实用口腔医学杂志

ABSTRACT

Objective:To observe the disinfection efficiency of N-doped nano-TiO2 on the curing light-guide rods.Methods:50 light-guide rods from 6 dental clinics were included,the bacteria adhesion on the light-guide rods before and after disinfection with N-doped nano-TiO2 was investigated using ATP bioluminescence method.Results:The RLU value of light-guide rods exposed to the air was 51 -649 before the use of N-doped nano-TiO2 disinfection,after spraying N-doped nano-TiO2 ,the RLU value of light-guide rods was 0 -6(P <0.01 ).Conclusion:N-doped nano-TiO2 has significant sterilization effect on the curing light-guide rods.
