Primary Preventive Dentistry - 6th Ed (2004)
Teeth that have been sealed and then have lost the sealant have had fewer lesions than control
teeth.This is possibly due to the presence of tags that are retained in the enamel after the bulk of the
sealant has been sheared from the tooth surface. When the resin sealant flows over the prepared
surface, it penetrates the finger-like depressions created by the etching solution. These projections of
resin into the etched areas are called tags.

383. Some test of the autoclave for testing the Efficacy of Autoclaves:
Quality control is essential to ensure that potentially infectious agents are destroyed by adequate
sterilization regimes.
The ways for testing Autoclave efficacy:
1. Browne's tubes are glass tubes that contain heat sensitive dyes. These change color after sufficient
time at the desired temperature.
2. Bowie Dick tape is applied to articles being autoclaved. If the process has been satisfactory, dark
brown stripes will appear across the tape. Pale brown stripes are suggestive of poor heat
penetration, and an unsatisfactory sterilization process.
These methods give an immediate indication of the success or otherwise of an autoclave run but they
are only suggestive of a successful sterilization.
3. Spore strips may be placed inside the autoclave at the start of its cycle. After running, the autoclave
the strip is recovered and cultured. Absence of growth after a suitable period indicates a successful
run.
The problem with this method is that it is retrospective. If a problem has arisen, then this will be
discovered only when the spores have germinated. This is probably too late to take effective action
other than to call in an engineer to prevent further problems
