pubmed:abstractText |
A bacterial culture from telephone mouthpiece showed that 47 percent of the instruments carried pathogenic bacteria. Wiping with a disinfectant swab reduced the number of contaminated telephones. But for complete elimination of bacterial contamination changes in design of mouthpiece holes or type of instrument or using a polythene plastic cover over mouthpiece is recommended.
