Sterilising dental instruments isn’t just a routine — it’s critical to safe patient care. Here's a short and practical overview of the key steps clinics and dental teams follow before reuse.

Do Instruments Need to Be Dry Before Autoclaving?

It’s a common question in both clinics and classrooms: do dental instruments need to be dry before autoclaving? The answer is a simple and definite — yes.

Why Drying Matters

Moisture trapped in instruments, pouches or hinges can interfere with steam penetration. Worse still, leftover water can lead to:

• Incomplete sterilisation

• Rust formation

• Pouch breakage or seal failure

Drying helps ensure the sterilisation process is effective and the instruments remain in good condition for longer.
