Final answer:
The statement about resin-modified glass ionomer cements requiring a no-touch technique is false. Sanitization reduces but does not eliminate all microbes, and moist-heat sterilization protocols generally use higher temperatures for longer times than dry-heat protocols. Ionizing radiation can penetrate surfaces, unlike nonionizing radiation.
Step-by-step explanation:
The statement regarding resin-modified glass ionomer cements needing a no-touch technique is False. Resin-modified glass ionomer cements do not specifically require a no-touch technique. This question seems to be conflated with the use of composite resins which are often recommended to be manipulated with a no-touch technique to prevent contamination.
Addressing another true or false question, it is also important to clarify that sanitization does not necessarily leave an object free of microbes; sanitization reduces the number of microbial contaminants to safe levels as judged by public health standards, but does not ensure complete sterility.
And for a fact about sterilization protocols, moist-heat sterilization typically does require the use of higher temperatures for longer periods than dry-heat sterilization does, given that moist heat is more effective at lower temperatures and shorter exposure times than dry heat.
When considering ionizing versus nonionizing radiation, the statement that ionizing radiation can penetrate surfaces while nonionizing radiation cannot is true. Ionizing radiation includes things like X-rays and gamma rays which can penetrate various materials to different extents, whereas nonionizing radiation such as ultraviolet light has limited penetration ability.
