Dental professionals have gone above-and-beyond to address infection risks and keep their practices safe. Here are some useful tips to maintain in your dental practice!

What is it like to go to the dentist in the post-COVID19 era? Dr. Carlo Poggio offers an overview of what needs to be done in order to gain patients’ trust again. His clinic has been considered a landmark of infection prevention for almost 20 years, due also to the advanced workflow standardization systems used: the Hu-Friedy IMS Cassettes.

As COVID-19 causes practices to revise their infection prevention procedures, we already have the ultimate solution: the Instrument Management System (IMS). For decades, practices have used IMS for safe, sterile, and efficient instrument reprocessing, but some have not always considered it a necessity. That’s wrong. According to Dr. Molinari, the IMS System is the best way to protect the safety of patients and staff alike in a concrete, visible way. Learn why IMS is now more critical than ever as you work to get patients back in your chair.

The spread of COVID-19 continues to be the most prominent and pressing topic in world news and you need to stay up to date on the latest information so you can keep your patients and practices safe. Resources from European Centre for Disease Prevention and Control (ECDC), Centers for Disease Control (CDC) and World Health Organization (WHO), as well as dental-specific resources upon the specific European Countries Regulations that we have created to break down the information and support you further. This page will continue to be updated with new information as it becomes available.
