The risk of infection is significantly reduced when dental instruments are properly sterilized. However, sterilization using only alcohol-based solutions might not be sufficient to eliminate all pathogens, including bacterial spores. Proper sterilization typically involves using autoclaves (steam sterilization), which is the gold standard in dentistry.
Using alcohol-based solutions can help disinfect, but it may not guarantee complete sterilization, especially if not left for the recommended contact time or used on instruments requiring high-level disinfection. If the instruments are used after a 5-minute wait, it depends on whether the method was validated and the type of pathogens present.
