Die stone disinfection: incorporation of sodium hypochlorite.

PURPOSE: Previous research has shown that dental gypsum casts may be effectively disinfected by the substitution of 10% of the gauging water with 5.25% solution of sodium hypochlorite. The purpose of this investigation was to determine the properties of gypsum produced from such a solution as opposed to tap water alone. MATERIALS AND METHODS: Tests included setting time, compressive strength, rigidity, diametral tensile strength, setting expansion, hardness, and detail reproduction. RESULTS: The addition of sodium hypochlorite to the gauging water resulted in a statistically significant increase in the compressive strength and rigidity, and a decrease in setting time (p < or = .5). All other properties remained unchanged. CONCLUSIONS: This substitution may be an effective and convenient method of disinfecting gypsum casts in the laboratory without adversely effecting physical and mechanical properties.

The coming revolution in information systems.

A revolution is coming--is absolutely essential--in healthcare. The chief information officer must be among the generals who plan battle strategies and lead the campaigns to fight inflating costs and overwhelming demands. Without their leadership and expertise, armies of healthcare providers are destined to fail, and legions of citizens will fall victim to a system inadequate to meet their needs.
