| Arancegui, 1994 [3] | Biological Safety in Dentistry: Development of a Useful Method for Quality Control of Sterilisation | Revista Argentina de Microbiología | In vitro study | 534 autoclave cycles tested. The results showed that 86.90% of the autoclaves lacked thermometers, 76.60% lacked manual thermostats, 83.33% were automatic and 58.80% did not sterilise |

| Healy, 2004 [19] | Autoclave Use in Dental Practice in the Republic of Ireland | International Dental Journal | In vitro study | To assess, by postal questionnaire, cross-infection control methods, especially sterilisation procedures, of 700 general dental practitioners in the Republic of Ireland and to biologically monitor steam pressure sterilizers or autoclaves in their practices |
|
| Edwardsson, 1983 [20] | Steam Sterilisation of Air-Turbine Dental Handpieces | Acta Odontologica Scandinavica | In vitro study | The results indicate that the instrument autoclaves with built-in programs for 120–124°C/20 min and 134–136 C/10 min could have insufficient capacity to sterilise lubricated or unlubricated dental handpieces |
|
| Andersen, 1999 [15] | Effect of Steam Sterilisation inside the Turbine Chambers of Dental Turbines | Oral Surgery, Oral Medicine, Oral Pathology, and Oral Radiology | In vitro study | Results indicate that cleaning before sterilisation is essential for safe use of high-speed dental turbines and that small nonvacuum autoclaves should be carefully evaluated before being used for the reprocessing of hollow instruments such as high-speed turbines |
|
| Palenik, 1994 [16] | Effectiveness of Two Types of Sterilisation on the Contents of Sharps Containers | American Journal of Dentistry | In vitro study | The purpose of this study was to evaluate the killing effect that a gravity steam autoclave or a high-vacuum steam sterilizer or an unsaturated chemical vapor sterilizer had on endospores present on strips or their effect if applied to dental needles within three sizes of sharps containers |
|
| Sheldrake, 1995 [17] | Effectiveness of Three Types of Sterilisation on the Contents of Sharps Containers | Quintessence International | In vitro study | The purpose of this study was to test the effect of treatment in a gravity steam autoclave, high-vacuum steam autoclave, or an unsaturated chemical vapor sterilizer on endospores present on strips or placed inside of dental anaesthetic cartridges held within sharps containers |

|
| Mathivanan, 2017 [23] | Evaluation of Efficiency of Different Decontamination Methods of Dental Burs: An In Vivo Study | Journal of Pharmacy and Bioallied Sciences | In vitro study | The present study was done to quantitatively and qualitatively assess the pathogenic contamination of dental burs used for tooth preparation and to determine the effective method of sterilisation (autoclave, glass bead sterilizer, hot air oven, and surgical spirit immersion) of burs used for crown preparation |
|
| Apinhasmit, 2003 [24] | Effects of Autoclave Sterilisation on Properties of Dental Rubber Dam as Related to Its Use as Barrier Membrane in Guided Tissue Regeneration | Journal of Periodontal Research | In vitro study | These results suggest that the autoclave sterilisation deteriorated the physical properties of rubber dams even though they seemed to be compatible to the cultured human cells. Therefore, the sterilisation method should be taken into consideration when rubber dams are utilized as barrier membranes |
