Sterilization and disinfection are nowadays a number of infectious diseases an extremely important factor in the safe operation of a dental office.

For the sterilization of instruments, we use the CLASS B autoclave that meets the most demanding sterilization criteria as well as the most stringent European Union standards (EN 0630 and EN 867-5).

Your safety as a patient and our professional staff is a top priority at Dental Center Ostojic where we strictly adhere to high standards of sterilization and hygiene.

Professionally and meticulously, we follow and exceed the European guidelines for sterilization and hygiene in dentistry and regularly maintain our sterilization equipment to the highest standards.

For each patient, all cups, pumps, aprons, gloves, masks, dies, applicators, trays, threads, needles, bats, gauze, and more are changed. Autoclave instruments that cannot be sterilized are used ONCE and thrown away after use.

After each patient, we disinfect all surfaces of the dental chair and other work surfaces with appropriate disinfectants.

The sterilization process at the Ostojić Dental Center is constantly undergoing control and monitoring, both inside and outside the practice, and our expert staff is continually educated on prevention and protection.

In modern offices we have new dental chairs through which the system passes demineralized water for medical use. Our water supply system does not pass water from city water supply systems (according to the highest EU standards).

Sterilization and disinfection of dental instruments is carried out through several stages:

Immerse each instrument immediately after use in a container of disinfectant solution for a minimum of 30 minutes.
He then goes to the ultrasonic bath where all organic material particles invisible to the naked eye are removed
The instruments are carefully wiped and placed in an autoclave where they undergo sterilization at 134 ° C at a pressure of 2.5 bar.
They are individually packaged in special containers in which they retain sterility and are opened immediately before use.

These methods destroy all bacteria, viruses, fungi, and thus prevent the emergence and spread of any type of infection in the office.
