What are the differences between a Dental Autoclave and a Type N Autoclave?

The equipment for sterilization in dental offices, are really important, for the prevention of diseases in patients until the disinfection of the instrument, are an essential and primary part in this dental technique. Likewise, sterilization in the dental clinic, through an autoclave, is through steam and heat, are responsible for eliminating microorganisms.

In this sense, the autoclave called Type B, is considered to be the most recommended by laboratories and dental offices, since it meets all the criteria and functional characteristics according to the specialization, where the disinfection of the instruments that the expert uses before, during and after use with patients.

On the other hand, Type N autoclaves, although also sterilized, do not meet the requirements required by dental physicians, as they only disinfect simple material, and are indicated only for flat instruments, such as scalpels. They do not grant purification of bagged instruments.

Performance of Autoclaves

According to the different functions of the autoclaves, and in search of the best dental sterilizer, the following are its various functions:

  • N-type autoclaves: are characterized by their small dimensions and offer the sterilization of simple materials. The letter N refers to naked solid products. Therefore, these autoclaves do not allow sterilizing textile materials, porous loads, hollow bodies or bagged products, since the typologies of the cycle do not allow specific tests from the physical point of view.
  • Type B autoclaves: have limited spaces, although they have assistance that can be compared to that offered by larger hospital facilities. In this case, letter B refers to (big small sterilizers), i.e. small but large sterilizers. In fact, with this equipment, you can disinfect any type of cargo, such as porous materials, bagged materials, textiles and hollow bodies, such as instruments, turbines and cannulas.

Differences between Dental Autoclave and Type N

Dental sterilizers are instruments that allow disinfecting instruments, such as turbines or against bagged angles, and also guarantees the health of patients and professionals, through the sterilization of instruments.

However, N type and Dental autoclaves have similar characteristics with different functions, such as dental autoclaves, are suitable for sterilizing any type of dental instruments, including packaged materials, textiles, utensils with cannulas and gaps, or porous loads. In fact, type B autoclaves fulfill these functions, making them the most recommended for dental clinics.

In another order of idea, N type autoclaves, although they disinfect, do not reach the corners of each utensil to disinfect, since they are small in size, they are used for cleaning simple and flat instruments, such as scalpels. They are not the most recommended for dental activity, since their action is insufficient in those utensils that have gaps or cannulas, in textile materials, porous loads or packaged instruments.
