Manual Maintenance of Dental Rotary Instruments: A Quick Guide

Shofu Dental India

Proper maintenance of dental rotary instruments is important for hygiene, longevity, and performance. Start by removing the bur and pre-disinfecting the instrument with a clean tissue to eliminate residue. Clean the instrument by rinsing it with water (below 38°C) and removing any debris, then clean internally with a spray cleaner and externally with a cloth.

Disinfect the instrument manually with a surface disinfectant and use thermal disinfection equipment for thorough cleaning. Lubricate moving parts as needed—use the appropriate lubricant for contra-angles, handpieces, and turbines. Finally, sterilise the instrument by placing it in a sterilisation bag and using a Class B autoclave (over 135 °C). This simple routine ensures that your rotary instruments remain reliable and safe.
