We were asked "What about "Flash" Sterilization?"
(according to the Centre for Disease Control)

How should items be stored following sterilization?
Sterile items and disposable (single-use) items should be stored in an enclosed storage area (e.g., cabinet or drawer). Dental supplies and instruments should not be stored under sinks or in other locations where they might become wet. Sterilized items should remain wrapped until they are needed for use.

Unwrapped items are susceptible to contamination. Avoid storing items loose in drawers or cabinets because unwrapped items cannot be kept sterile. Items stored in this manner are subject to contamination from dust, aerosols generated during treatment, and the hands of personnel who must handle them.

Consumer Advisory on Denture Adhesive

Please be advised that GlaxoSmithKline (GSK) has issued a consumer advisory today warning consumers of the potential health risk from long-term excessive use of GSK's zinc-containing denture adhesive Poli-Grip 'Advanced Care', Extra Strength' and 'Ultra Fresh'.
