is autoclaving same as heating the tooth?
Answered by Damon
in general autoclaving is indeed heating
Answered by DrBob222
Specifically, autoclaving is a method for sterilizing equipment under pressure at 121 degrees C for 15-20 minutes. You can Google "autoclaving" for more information. I have seen this done by dentists for natural teeth that are to be re-inserted as part of the dental procedure but I don't know if it is safe for dentures.
