Owing to the current situation of the corona outbreak, the need for hygiene reaches its peak. Moreover, the medical field requires more hygiene in comparison to others because they are dealing directly with the patients thus having high chances of getting infected. Dentistry is one such field which also requires proper cleaning and sanitization of equipment’s. As the majority of the instruments gets direct contact with the patients therefore, these instrument’s need to be adequately sanitized. Generally, the method adopted by dentist in rural and semi-urban areas are cleaning their instruments simply with water or detergent. Liquid disinfection is also used such as alcohols under high pressure, which may damage the instrument. Therefore, there is a need to develop a system for sanitizing the dental equipment’s effectively with ease. UV Radiation which is a chemical-free process and highly effective in killing the microbes and quicker than other methods. In this regard, an attempt has been made to develop a sanitizing system to be used by dentists employing ultra-violet (UV-C) rays. The proposed design will resolve the issue of the hectic sterilization process. It will provide medium level sterilization of the dentistry equipment. The ease of use has been taken into consideration, along with the economical cost. The system will provide highly efficient output (complete killing of germs, microbes etc.,) in short duration of time, a safety mesh has been provided to avoid human body collision with the UV setup. The proposed system can be a viable solution for easily and effectively cleaning and sanitizing the dental equipment.
