A microbiologic investigation following the disinfection of irreversible hydrocolloid materials using the spray method.
Antimicrobial efficacy of three spray disinfectants--0.525 percent sodium hypochlorite (bleach), deconex and Sanosil--was evaluated on contaminated alginate disks. Disks were sprayed eight to 10 times after rinsing in water for 15 seconds. The samples were then placed into plastic bags containing a sterile moist cotton roll for 10 minutes. The use of 0.525 percent sodium hypochlorite sprayed onto the surface of alginate effectively disinfected 96.6 percent of the samples.
