HARTMANN products for dental practices Hand and surface hygiene in the dental sector As dental surgery has advanced from purely ‚tooth-related‘ procedures to the use of implants and bone replacement, the demands on infection prevention have increased significantly. In particular, preventing postoperative wound infections has become more important in recent years [1]. This development is also reflected in the number of dental medical care centres (ZMVZ), where surgical procedures are frequently performed. The number of dental medical care centres (ZMVZ) has increased from 87 in 2015 to 1,181 in 2023 in Germany [3]. As well as classic infection risks, protection against pathogens transmitted during treatment via droplets or aerosols (e.g. streptococci, influenza pathogens, Mycobacterium tuberculosis or SARS-CoV-2) is particularly important here [4, 5]. Protecting Healthcare Workers and Patients Systematic cleaning and disinfection of dental staff‘s hands is the basis of infection control. Depending on the activity, this involves either cleaning with a liquid detergent or carrying out hygienic hand disinfection. Regular skin care prevents irritation [1, 6]. Cleaning and disinfecting surfaces in the clinical area of the practice is also an integral part of standard hygiene measures [1]. HARTMANN‘s disinfection and hygiene products help you to consistently implement hygiene recommendations in your daily work in the dental sector and minimise the risk of infection. Effective hand and surface hygiene is of central importance in dental practices. Local guidelines such as the German Working Group for Hygiene in Dentistry (DAHZ) [1] or the Austrian guideline for hygiene in dentistry [2] provide clear recommendations for daily routines.
