Dental Product Pollutant Testing
In recent years, there has been growing concern about the environmental impact of dental products. Many dental materials and products contain pollutants that can leach into water sources during use or disposal. Understanding these pollutants is crucial for maintaining both public health and environmental sustainability.
Our service specializes in comprehensive pollutant testing for dental products to ensure compliance with regulatory standards and to identify potential risks associated with the materials used in oral healthcare practices. This service covers a wide range of tests designed to evaluate the leaching behavior, biocompatibility, and overall environmental impact of various dental materials.
The pollutants tested include heavy metals such as mercury (Hg), lead (Pb), cadmium (Cd), and chromium (Cr). Additionally, we analyze for volatile organic compounds (VOCs) that may be released into the atmosphere during use. Our tests also encompass biodegradability assessments to ensure that dental products do not contribute to long-term environmental pollution.
The testing process involves several critical steps: sample preparation, extraction of pollutants using appropriate solvents, and analysis through advanced instrumentation such as inductively coupled plasma mass spectrometry (ICP-MS), gas chromatography-mass spectrometry (GC-MS), and Fourier transform infrared spectroscopy (FTIR). Each step is meticulously conducted to ensure accurate and reliable results.
The primary goal of our testing service is not only to meet regulatory requirements but also to provide valuable insights into the environmental footprint of dental products. By offering this expertise, we aim to support the development of safer and more sustainable dental materials that minimize harm to the environment.
| Applied Standards |
|---|
| ISO 10993-6:2020 - Biological evaluation of medical devices — Part 6: Evaluation of the potential for leaching of chemicals from dental materials into biological fluids. |
| ASTM D5893-17 - Standard test method for evaluating the biodegradability of plastic materials intended to be disposed of in the marine environment by aerobic composting. |
| IEC 60601-2-3 - Medical electrical equipment — Particular requirements for basic safety and essential performance of devices for use in dental practice. |
The standards listed above ensure that our testing process is aligned with international best practices. Compliance with these standards guarantees the accuracy and reliability of our test results, which are critical for product development and regulatory approval.
