Dear all
I have a question relating to maintaining aseptic technique in Dental clinics. What do you use on the chair side tray as a sterile field to place the reprocessed instruments on. Does it depend on the nature of the dentistry being performed?
There seems to be differing opinions here in our Dental service about what is the best setup, with one team using Sterile Tray Liners and the others using bibs as tray liners

Hi Jan,
I posed this question to our Statewide Dental service Quality Manager. I copy a prcis of her reply below;
Hi Rachel,
Creating aseptic fields is something that we have been looking at and forms part of the ANTT training. From our perspective, to create an aseptic field we are implementing the wrapping of our exam kits and surgical & elevator kits in kimguard; thus when unwrapped creates an aseptic field on the bracket tray. We also use the inner of the steri-pouch to create a micro-aseptic field.
The use of dental bibs is traditionally what we have all used, but they don’t provide/create an aseptic field as they are not sterile and as a paper product have the potential to shed fibres. As such we are moving away from their use.
Kind regards,
Robyn
