Can you tell me at what temperature endodontic instruments are sterilized at dry heat and in autoclave?

I think our autoclave is set at 270

Hummm.... well... 185潞 for 5 minutes will sterilize just about any surgical instrument I can think of if it's medically clean to begin with. But, I'm sure there is a better answer out there.

we use a "statum"..steam heat...before using the endodontic tools we also use a bead sterilizer.

An old-fashioned endo glass bead/salt sterilizer was set at something like 400 degrees, which killed anything in 10 seconds. Otherwise, see the answers above.

Time AND temperature both matter, though.

If you are a dentist, look at the directions that came with your equipment.
