Question

Quizplus · Accepted Answer

After removing each exposed film or PSP from the patient's mouth, it is important to wipe saliva from the film packet using a dry 2 × 2-inch gauze sponge or paper towel. This helps to prevent the spread of bacteria and contamination. Sterilizing in a heat sterilizer and immersing in disinfecting solution are not necessary for exposed films or PSPs, as they are disposable items. Rinsing the films off in the sink is not recommended, as this can cause damage to the film and may not effectively remove contaminants.
