Care and maintenance of dental hand instruments

To master the care and maintenance of dental hand instruments, students must understand the importance of cleaning, disinfection, drying, storage, and periodic inspection. Proper maintenance ensures instrument longevity, prevents cross‑contamination, and upholds the quality of dental treatment, all of which are key assessment points in the NUC CCMAS / NBTE / NCCE syllabi.
