Title: | Avaliação da padronização de agulhas anestésicas odontológicas comercializadas no Brasil |
Title Alternative: | Evaluation of the standardization of injection dental needles marketed in Brazil |
Author: | Girotto, Marcos Antonio Ranali, José Volpato, Maria Cristina |
Abstract: | The standardization of sterile, single-use dental injection needles marketed in Brazil in 1997 was evaluated. The effective needle length (L1), butt end length (L2), socket depth (L3), external (ED) and internal (ID) diameters, corrosion resistance of the cannula, and the information printed on the package (unitary protector and box) were evaluated. The data were compared with the International Standard (ISO), American specification no. 54 (ANSI/ADA) and French Standard (FS). There were great variations for L1, L2, L3 and ID, and no trade mark fitted in any of the standards for all the dimensions. The external diameter showed very little variation in all the trade marks according to the ANSI/ADA and FS. All of the needles withstood the corrosion test. Some trade marks had incomplete information in their package and one of them had no expiration date. Some of the unitary protectors, once opened, did not show clear evidence of having been violated. These results show the need for a Brazilian specification to regulate the manufacturing of single-use dental injection needles. Foram avaliadas neste trabalho agulhas anestésicas odontológicas descartáveis, comercializadas no Brasil no segundo semestre de 1997, quanto às medidas: comprimento da cânula, da porção que perfura o tubete e da porção que permanece no interior do adaptador plástico e diâmetros externo e interno. A resistência à corrosão da cânula e as informações da embalagem (caixa e protetor) também foram avaliadas. Os resultados foram comparados com as normas Internacional (ISO)8, Americana (ANSI/ADA)¹ e Francesa (NF). Foram observadas variações, não havendo uma só marca que estivesse de acordo com qualquer das normas, para todas as medidas. Todas as agulhas atingiram as especificações do teste de corrosão. Algumas embalagens mostraram conteúdo de informação incompleto e uma marca estava sendo vendida sem prazo de validade. Alguns protetores não permitiam identificar a violação do lacre, quando isto ocorria. Estes resultados demonstram a necessidade de se estabelecerem normas brasileiras, para regulamentar a produção e venda de agulhas odontológicas no país |
