A bstract — The risk of cross infection in prosthetic dental procedures is a very real one. Normal sterilization and disinfectant procedures, in particular dry and moist heat and some chemical methods, are inappropriate for many treatment procedures. Chemical disinfectants which are normally available in Australia are considered in relation to their compatibility or otherwise with dental prosthetic materials and recommendations for their use are proposed.
