Abstract

This document specifies test methods for the evaluation of dental restorative materials, luting materials, fissure sealants and orthodontic bonding or luting materials that are claimed by their respective manufacturers to exert “antibacterial” effects.

This document does not cover tests on the effectiveness of sterilization or disinfection procedures. This document cannot be used to demonstrate a lack of microbial contamination of medical devices used in dentistry.
