Can saliva ejectors be reused?
Ejectors are disposable devices for single-use only, that is to say, they must not be washed or sterilized for being reused. Disposable saliva ejectors are designed for single-patient use.
They are convenient and help maintain a high level of hygiene because they are discarded after each patient, minimizing the risk of cross-contamination.
Typically made of plastic, these ejectors are cost-effective and easy to dispose of in biohazard waste.
Reusable saliva ejectors are designed to be sterilized and used for multiple patients.
They are often made of materials that can withstand sterilization processes such as autoclaving.
While the initial cost may be higher than disposables, the long-term cost can be lower if the reusable ejectors are properly maintained and sterilized.
Where do you put a saliva ejector?
Position the ejector under the tongue. Position the ejector opposite the side on which the dentist is working.
The most common placement for a saliva ejector is on the buccal (cheek) side of the mouth.
- The dentist or dental assistant positions the saliva ejector near the back of the mouth, between the molars and the cheek.
- This placement helps to collect saliva and fluids that accumulate on the side of the mouth during treatment.
