Infection
Control in Our Office: Infektion-Steuerung

 We
use the effective infection control procedures and universal precautions* in dental office to prevent cross
contamination that could extend to patient, dentist, staff
and technicians. Our offices have modern and hi-tech sterilizer
to ensure that the extensive sterilization procedures are
meticulously followed for all our dental instruments and
equipment. Since we do recognize that health and safety
issue are equally important for the patient and health care
team, all our equipment is therefore sterilized or disposed.
Our goal is to always provide the best quality and
most dependable service available to our patient.
 Some
of the protection measures to which we adhere are as follows:
(Under supervision of ISO
9001:2000 Quality Assured Firm in order to ensure
effectiveness)
Modern
Sterilization Techniques :
Moderne Sterilisation-Techniken
All
instruments and hand pieces are sterilized by using pressurized
stream (so called “Autoclave”) after every patient. We routinely test for spores and monitor
our technique. Instruments that can not withstand high temperatures
are scrubbed clean and then disinfect in chemical solutions.
These methods of sterilization which meet prescribed international
standards kill the microscopic organisms capable of causing
disease.
Disposable
items : Wegwerfeinzelteile
The use of disposable items is another
way in our offices maintains a sanitary and safe environment.
Many materials such as gloves, masks, plastic rinsing cup,
disposable covering, needle, etc are used only once and
then disposed.
 Protective
Clothing : Schutzkleidung
We also wear face masks, face shield, protective
eye wear and medical gowns.
Surface
Cleaning :
Oberflächenreinigung
We clean and disinfect treatment
surfaces and equipment that cannot be removed for cleaning
and sterilization for example the dental unit, counters,
X-ray equipment, and other surface area after every patient.

direct contact with anybody fluid is potentially infectious.

- Washing hands before and after each treatment;
