본 연구에서는 코코넛 오일로부터 카르복실레이트계 음이온 계면활성제 SLEC-3을 합성하였으며, 합성된 계면활성제의 구조를 FT-IR, ¹H-NMR 및 ¹³C-NMR 분석을 통하여 확인하였다. 합성한 계면활성제 SLEC-3에 대하여 임계 마이셀 농도, 정적 및 동적 표면장력, 유화력, 거품 안정성 등의 계면 물성을 측정한 결과, 기존 세제 제품에서 널리 사용되는 음이온 계면활성제 SLES와 비교하여 계면 활성이 보다 우수하고 계면 에너지를 낮추는데 더 효과적이었다. 또한 SLCE-3에 대한 생분해성, 급성 경구 독성 및 급성 피부자극 시험을 실시한 결과, 저자극 및 저독성을 가지고 있기 때문에 세제 및 세정제 제품에 적용할 수 있을 것으로 판단되었다.

We searched at the "PubMed.gov" and "jendodon.com" sites to conduct a literature review on dental instruments that are reused in clinical settings and on infection control involving pre-disinfection or sterilization cleaning/rinsing. The keyword "dental clean" was used for the Web search. We found the present official definition of instrument cleaning performed prior to disinfection or sterilization rather limiting ("removal of foreign matter (soil, organism, etc.) from the instruments"). Thus, we proposed to expand the definition to include the removal of oils applied to protect the metallic instruments and from corrosion, stains, and rust resulting from the frequent reuse of the instruments. Clinicians are found to clean their dental instruments (a) immediately after treating their patients or (b) following their treatment but not immediately afterward. In the latter case, we recommend presoaking to be added. Ultrasonic sterilization of 5~15 minutes is found to be more effective in terms of eliminating residual matter from the instruments compared to other methods. To check on the cleaning results, we recommend visual inspection, which can be quick and practical in clinical settings. The latest products being developed and marketed on the market address the related problems. Nonetheless, research must be continued on the effects of presoak, cleaning/rinsing, disinfection, and high-temperature or heating-based sterilization on the dental instruments and on dental clinicians' practices in cleaning, disinfection, and sterilization. We advise dental clinicians to select the proper cleaning methods and detergents for their instruments to help eliminate or prevent corrosion, staining, and rusting, to reduce the maintenance costs, and to ensure user-friendly instruments/apparatuses.
