“The concept of this Studio is being always updated with the new technologies, but in a familiar atmosphere. The Hu-Friedy IMS Cassette System represents the best solution in terms of organization and efficiency, especially if you want to save time between procedures.” - Dr. Carlo Ghezzi.

After Dr. Walter Rao implemented the Hu-Friedy Instrument Management System (IMS) in his dental practice, he gained more time for his patients, especially those with phobias and with special needs. “I’m a certified free-diver and I train my staff to teach patients how to breath correctly. It’s really important that both adults and children trust us, and we need to find time for this.” – Dr. Walter Rao

Among all the guests who come to Italy to visit the Hu-Friedy Showroom in Milan, there is a group of Russian doctors who were excited to visit also some Italian dental practices. Drs Bormida in the city centre and Dr. Ghezzi only few minutes outside Milan, welcomed our guests in their dental practices and shared the benefits of implementing the IMS (Instrument Management System) solution in their practices.

"We no longer waste time looking for an instrument in the drawers or even the consumables: with the IMS Tubs by Hu-Friedy, we collect all the necessary for a certain procedure and we easily identify the different set-ups thanks to the colour coding of both cassettes and tubs" - Dr. Oliver Schäfer.

"Thanks to the IMS solution, we are able to guarantee a high standard of hygiene and safety for our patients by significantly reducing the risk of cross-infections". - Dr. Carlo Poggio

WEBINAR ON DEMAND - This course will provide dental professionals in private practice, and administrators in dental education with information on strategies to reduce the risk of community transmission of COVID-19, operate your business under increasing restrictions, manage the urgent needs of your patients, and communicate to your patients, employees, and other critical partners.

While this situation is certainly a challenge, that doesn’t mean there aren’t silver linings. With patients and procedures temporarily on hold, there are ways to focus on staying productive and proactive. This is a challenging moment for everyone, and while you may not be able to come into the office, we’re here to help you make the most of this time so you can continue to be the best in practice when practices reopen.

We have brought together infection prevention and control compliance consultants for a town all style presentation that will answer the most common questions about COVID-19 as it relates to dental practices. Consultants will review new recommendations from the CDC for screen patients, PPE requirements, and managing product shortages, as well as protecting patients and dental teams from aerosol and droplet contamination. The webinar is presented on demand in a question and answer format.

From administrative to clinical to infection prevention tasks, there’s a lot you can and should be doing to keep your practice in good shape. Part one of this post will examine best practice recommendations for temporarily closing an office as well as what can be done during this interim downtime. Part two will then detail steps for reopening the practice for all procedures.

Do you know what needs to be done once the pandemic is over? Will you be ready when patients come back to your dental office to ensure their safety as well as dental staff’s? Hu-Friedy has the solutions that helps you minimize the exposure to cross-infection and blood borne pathogens during daily procedures to be the best in practice for infection control and prevention.
