Residual contamination of toothbrushes by microorganisms.

K Kozai1, T Iwai, K Miura.   

Abstract

Procedures for maintaining the cleanliness of oral cleaning instruments have been discussed infrequently. S. mutans and pathogenic microorganisms can be transferred readily when a toothbrush is used, increasing the risk of dental caries and infectious diseases. It is suggested that sterilization equipment or specific detergents be used.
