Abstract

Extracted human teeth are routinely used for educational purposes in dental institutions. In recent years infection control guidelines have been revised due to the possibility of cross-contamination from these extracted teeth. This study was done to determine the efficacy of some commonly used methods for disinfection/sterilization of extracted human teeth.
