Abstract

It is important to carry out oral care in compliance with standard procedures. The sterility of the instruments and equipment’s are necessary that are being used. Particular attention should be paid for disinfecting methods. It is also necessary to follow preventive measures to avoid further infection for nearby sites. Patients who undertake oral surgeries are scheduled to undergo endotracheal intubation under general anesthesia, so a higher degree of cleanliness is attained in the oral cavity. However, in the dental field, oral care is often performed without a blood test for infectious diseases before surgery. But, oral care is often accompanied by bleeding in dental care, so it is recommended that oral care should be performed by a surgeon who is familiar with standard procedures. Furthermore, A method for sterilizing the oral care disinfecting instruments are desired similar to surgery in medical departments.
