Quizplus · Accepted Answer

PSPs are a major source of cross-contamination,because they are coated with saliva after being removed from the patient's mouth.
Always wear gloves when handling contaminated PSPs,which should be wiped with a 2 * 2-inch gauze sponge or paper towel after being removed from the patient's mouth.
PSPs should not be heat sterilized; the heat will destroy them.
PSPs should be immersed in disinfecting solution; this would likely result in seeping of the solution into the emulsion and damage the image.
