Pharmacoeconomic analysis of ethanol and benzalkonium chloride to prevent infections in dental facilities
The cost-effectiveness of benzalkonium chloride leads to more agile recovery of the patient. Performed assessments lead to the conclusion that benzalkonium chloride is more efficient in dental facilities than ethanol. Utilization of benzalkonium chloride improves quality of life, significantly decreasing time spent for application and frequent reapplications of the disinfectant.
