Sterilization

Our Commitment to Infection Control

Sterilization is the process of eliminating infection-causing microorganisms. At Cochin Dental Clinic, we strictly follow internationally recognized sterilization protocols. Our specialists and technicians are trained in advanced infection control practices to provide you with the safest care possible.

• Protective Measures: Our team uses protective gloves, aprons, eyewear, and face masks during treatments. We also rely on disposables wherever possible to eliminate contamination risks.
• Hygiene Standards: Handwashing and scrubbing with antimicrobial solutions are mandatory before and after each procedure.

State-of-the-Art Sterilization Equipment

Our clinic is equipped with advanced sterilization tools, ensuring the highest level of hygiene:

• Steam Autoclave
• Chemiclave Sterilizer
• Glass Bead Sterilizer
• Dry Heat Oven

We meticulously disinfect and sterilize all surgical and dental instruments before every procedure. Continuous monitoring of our sterilization equipment and protocols ensures they meet international standards. Dental handpieces are also thoroughly disinfected both internally and externally to prevent cross-contamination.

Additionally, the water used in our procedures is of excellent quality, ensuring it is safe and hygienic for all treatments.

Non-Surgical Root Canal Retreatment
Retreatment may be necessary if bacteria re-enter a previously treated tooth, often due to decay or untreated canal areas. Symptoms such as swelling, pain during chewing, or even x-ray findings may indicate the need for retreatment.

Apicoectomy
When inflammation or infection persists around the tip of a tooth root after root canal therapy, an Apicoectomy may be required. This surgical procedure involves removing the root tip and surrounding infected tissue, followed by sealing the root end. Stitches are placed to secure the gum tissue until healing occurs, and within a few months, the bone around the area fully heals.

Don’t Delay Your Dental Health
If you’ve been hesitant about root canal treatment, now is the time to act. Delaying treatment could result in the loss of your tooth, which is irreversible. Book your appointment today and save your natural tooth—it’s worth it!
