Infection Prevention for Treatment Centres

A topic of increasing relevance

Infection prevention is becoming an increasingly important topic in dental practices all over the world. An effective hygiene concept is the hallmark of a well-managed practice and a central requirement of patients. In order to protect dentist, assistant and patient likewise, Dentsply Sirona has developed an infection prevention system that strictly complies with the most demanding requirements.

Safety made simple

It does not have to be difficult or time-consuming to stick to the common principles and guidelines when it comes to infection prevention. To ensure effective, intuitive and fast processes, Dentsply Sirona extensively further developed the treatment centre. With its integrated disinfection system it relieves the practice team through intelligent, automatic flushing and cleaning processes and avoids cross-contamination thanks to hands-free operation right from the beginning.

Dentsply Sirona highly encourages you to configure your treatment centre with the integrated disinfection system right from the beginning to make safety as simple as possible.

Integrated disinfection system

An integrated disinfection system ensures safe, continuous disinfection. It automatically dispenses the right amount of Dentosept disinfectant into the process water of the treatment centre so that bacteria levels in the treatment water are always as low as possible. The system is also equipped with an integrated air gap according to DIN EN 1717. This is essential to avoid backflow of water and risk of cross contamination. Our treatment centres also carry the test mark of the German Association for gas and water applications (DVGW).

Built-in sanitisation adaptors

For the periodic cleaning and flushing of the waterways you can simply put the instrument hoses into the integrated and removable sanitisation adaptors. Together with the automatic programmes for purge, auto-purge and sanitation, the hygiene processes are simple, safe and efficient - the optimal support for your team.

Automatic flushing

Dentsply Sirona treatment centres are equipped with the programmes "Autopurge" for the daily flushing of the water lines and "Purge" for the flushing after every treatment. Only with the press of a button, the flushing process is fast, simple and especially safe. All waterlines are cleaned automatically and simultaneously.

Intensive decontamination (Sanitisation)

Another benefit of the integrated disinfection system is its additional sanitisation function. During this intensive contamination, all water lines are flushed with pure Dentosept which combats internal deposits and prevents the formation of biofilm. If Dentosept remains in the waterlines for at least 24 hrs, it offers optimal protection against biofilm. Dentsply Sirona recommends to do so once a month and after longer periods of no usage.

Efficient suction hose cleaning

A central aspect of practice hygiene is the correct handling of wastewater. In order to prevent germs from coming into contact with the team or the patient, the suction hoses and relevant wastewater lines have to be cleaned regularly. To enable an efficient suction hose cleaning, they can be rinsed automatically. They simply need to be placed on the integrated sanitisation adaptors and the process starts at the press of a button. The adaptors are removable and thermally disinfectable.

Aqua function

A programme for self sufficient water supply enables you to continue to work even if the city water is temporarily not usable for dental treatments. Treatment can be continued with no risk of contaminants.

Removable parts

All parts critical for hygiene, such as the LEDview Plus handles, the trays or the sanitisation adaptors are detachable and can be thermally disinfected and/or sterilised to increase protection against cross-contamination. The cuspidor can also be detached for quick and easy cleaning.

Smooth surfaces

The smooth and largely gap-free design of the surfaces ensures maximum infection control.

This also applies to the premium upholstery - thanks to the innovative thermoforming technology, its surface is especially even and easy to wipe.

More hygiene per second: Dentosept Clean

Our fastest Dentosept for the water lines of your treatment centre.

The new disinfectant Dentosept Clean has a faster onset of action and is more effective than our previous disinfectants.

With its new active combination based on hydrogen peroxide it thus ensures, within a very short time, the inactivation of the germs in the water lines of your treatment centre – which thanks to the improved depot effect, also provides long-lasting protection.

Of course, Dentosept Clean is just as safe and gentle on material as its predecessor Dentosept S.
