Hospital-Grade Safety.
Always. For Every Patient.
At Saluja Dento Max Fac Centre, sterilization is non-negotiable. We follow the same rigorous protocols used in top hospitals — because your safety is worth nothing less.
Why Sterilization Is Our Non-Negotiable
Infection control is not optional in our clinic — it’s the foundation of everything we do. We follow a rigorous 4-step sterilization protocol for every instrument, every surface, every patient.
We use Class B autoclaves — the gold standard in dental sterilization — combined with single-use disposables wherever possible, full PPE protocols for staff, and strict BMW (Biomedical Waste) compliance.
This isn’t marketing. It’s our professional and ethical responsibility — and a non-negotiable commitment to every patient who walks through our door.
How We Sterilize Every Instrument, Every Time
A rigorous, documented process for every instrument that touches a patient.
Pre-Soaking in Disinfectant
Immediately after use, instruments are soaked in medical-grade disinfectant solution to kill surface pathogens and prevent drying of biological material.
Ultrasonic Cleaning
High-frequency sound waves in a cleaning solution remove 99% of debris from every surface, including hard-to-reach joints and hinges.
Drying & Sterilization Pouches
Instruments are dried, inspected, and individually sealed in medical-grade sterilization pouches. Pouches are opened in front of the patient for transparency.
Class B Autoclave Sterilization
Sealed pouches are placed in a Class B autoclave at 121°C at 15 psi for 15-20 minutes — the gold standard for complete sterilization.
Sterile Storage in UV Cabinets
Sterilized instruments are stored in UV-sterilized cabinets and used within 24-48 hours to maintain sterility until your procedure.
Single-Use Disposables
Wherever possible, we use single-use items: gloves, masks, suction tips, patient bibs, and syringe needles — disposed after every patient.
Operatory Disinfection
Sterilization doesn’t end with instruments. Between every single patient, we perform a complete operatory turnover — leaving no surface untouched.

What Our Staff Wears — Always
Complete PPE for every clinical interaction. No exceptions, no compromises.
N95 / KN95 Masks
High-filtration respiratory protection worn by all staff during every patient interaction. Changed between patients.
Always WornDisposable Gloves
New sterile gloves for every patient — never reused, never shared. Latex-free options available for allergies.
Always WornFace Shields
Full-face protection during aerosol-generating procedures — extra barrier for both staff and patient safety.
Always WornDisposable Gowns
Full coverage gowns for all surgical and invasive procedures. Changed between patients, disposed properly.
Always WornHead & Shoe Covers
Surgical caps and shoe covers worn during procedures to prevent any external contamination from entering sterile areas.
Always WornEye Protection
Protective eyewear for all clinical staff — both for safety and to prevent droplet transmission during procedures.
Always WornClean Air, Safe Space
Air quality is just as important as instrument sterilization. Our clinic uses multiple layers of air purification to keep the air as clean as our instruments.
From HEPA-filtered air purifiers in every operatory to UV-C sterilization between patients, we ensure the air you breathe is as safe as the tools we use.
We Follow the Law. Strictly.
Biomedical Waste Management Rules 2016 (BMW Rules) are followed to the letter — from color-coded segregation to authorized disposal. Because protecting the community is just as important as protecting our patients.
