In dentistry, patient safety begins long before the first contact with an instrument. As Professor Alexander von Breuer believes, infection control is not a single protocol but an entire medical philosophy where every detail determines the outcome. At DentalClinic24, the patient protection system is structured as a multi-level process that covers all stages of treatment – from the initial consultation to the final follow-up.
The foundation of infection safety lies in the strict organisation of clinical space. The separation of clean and conditionally contaminated zones, clearly defined movement routes for staff and patients, and controlled access to treatment rooms – all reduce the risk of cross-infection at the organisational level. At DentalClinic24, these principles are not a formality but an essential part of daily clinical practice.
The sterilisation cycle plays a central role. Every instrument undergoes several stages of processing – disinfection, mechanical cleaning, ultrasonic treatment and sterilisation. At DentalClinic24, our specialists monitor each stage not only visually but also using sterilisation indicators. According to Professor von Breuer – multi-stage verification is what eliminates the human factor.
Control of disposable materials is equally important. Single-use components, individual treatment sets and sealed storage create an additional protective barrier. At DentalClinic24, we completely exclude repeated contact of materials with the environment once they have been prepared for use – even if a procedure is postponed.
Another layer of safety is created through air and surface control. Regular disinfection, the use of specialised filtration systems and the treatment of working areas after each patient ensure a stable microbiological environment. At DentalClinic24, this process is carried out according to a strict schedule that does not depend on the clinic’s workload.
Personnel training also plays a decisive role. Infection safety is impossible without discipline, education and continuous internal monitoring. Our doctors and assistants at DentalClinic24 regularly update their knowledge of sanitary protocols and emergency prevention algorithms. As Professor von Breuer believes, even the most advanced system loses its value without the conscious involvement of every specialist.
The infection safety system concerns not only sterility but also the overall condition of the patient. Before treatment, potential risk factors are assessed – immune responses, chronic inflammations and individual susceptibility. At DentalClinic24, this allows us to adapt the treatment strategy and further reduce the risk of post-procedural complications.
Monitoring continues after the procedure as well. Tissue condition, the speed of epithelial regeneration and the absence of inflammatory signs – all these parameters are tracked dynamically. This approach makes it possible to identify even minimal deviations at an early stage and prevent the development of complications.
Infection safety is a system where there are no secondary elements. At Dental Clinic24, we perceive patient protection as a continuous process that unites technology, protocols, discipline and clinical thinking. As Professor von Breuer believes, it is the complexity of these measures that makes treatment truly safe and predictable.
