Dental Office Air Disinfection: To Provide a Safer Treatment Environment For Patients
Dental clinics are important places for people to treat oral problems. However, due to their special diagnosis and treatment environment, the air quality in the clinics is often greatly challenged. The air can be filled with various bacteria, viruses and odors, posing potential health risks to patients and medical staff. Therefore, the air disinfection of dental clinics has extremely important practical significance.
In recent years, more and more dental clinics have begun to pay attention to the problem of air disinfection, and have taken various measures to improve air quality. For example, the introduction of advanced air disinfection equipment, the use of ultraviolet disinfection technology, periodic disinfection of the consulting room. In addition, the clinic has developed strict disinfection procedures and standard practices to ensure that every patient can be treated in a safe and comfortable environment.
Air disinfection in dental clinics is an important measure to protect the health of patients and medical staff, and is also a key link to improve the service quality of clinics. Air disinfection is based on the principle of microbiology, through physical, chemical or biological methods to kill bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms in the air to achieve the purpose of purifying the air and reducing the spread of diseases.
In order to ensure the effectiveness of air disinfection in dental offices, the following matters need to be noted:
1. Choose the appropriate disinfection method: according to the actual situation of the clinic and equipment conditions, choose the appropriate air disinfection method, such as ultraviolet disinfection, ozone disinfection, chemical disinfection, etc.
2. Determine the disinfection time and frequency: according to the patient flow and pollution situation, determine the appropriate disinfection time and frequency to ensure the air quality standards.
3. Regular inspection and maintenance of equipment: regularly check the operating status of air disinfection equipment, timely maintenance and maintenance to ensure its normal operation.
4. Strengthen personnel training and management: train medical personnel in air disinfection to improve their environmental awareness and operational skills; At the same time, strengthen the management of the clinic to ensure that the disinfection system and process are effectively implemented.
5. Monitoring and recording: Establish an air quality monitoring and recording system to detect and solve potential problems in a timely manner and provide a basis for improving disinfection programs.
Through effective disinfection of the air, it can reduce the spread of bacteria, viruses and other microorganisms, reduce the risk of infection of patients, and improve the work efficiency of medical staff and patient satisfaction. Therefore, dental clinics should be fully aware of the importance of air disinfection, take scientific and reasonable measures to ensure that the air quality in the consulting room meets the relevant standards and requirements!
The following two types of air disinfection equipment are suitable for use in your dental office.
(1)Plasma Air Disinfector：
1. There are three types: mobile, wall-mounted and suspended ceiling.
2. There are two kinds of space suitable for 60m³ and 100m³.
3. Chinese and English LCD screen, intuitive operation, real-time view of indoor temperature and humidity, equipment operating status, 5-layer disinfection and purification design.
4. New plasma sterilization, space disinfection function, can replace the traditional ultraviolet lamp disinfection. Dynamic disinfection, man-machine coexistence, improve the working environment, is conducive to the physical and mental health of medical personnel.
●Mechanism of plasma air purification and disinfection
Plasma is a form of matter with free electrons and charged ions as the main component, it is a gas group with high kinetic energy, the total charge of the plasma is still neutral, by the electric field or magnetic field of high kinetic energy will be the outer electron hit out, so that the electron is no longer bound to the nucleus, and become a high-energy free radical.
(1) Active group action: plasma contains a large number of active oxygen ions, high-energy free groups and other components, easy to oxidize with bacteria, molds and spores, viruses in the protein and nucleic acid material to denature, so that all kinds of microorganisms die.
(2) Breakdown effect of high-speed particles: After sterilization experiment, the images of bacteria and virus particles after plasma action were observed by electron microscope, which were all riddled with holes, which was caused by the breakdown etching effect of electrons and ions with high kinetic energy.
(3) Negative oxygen ion action: by the negative oxygen ion generator to make oxygen with negative charge, so as to form negative oxygen ions, to achieve the purpose of fresh air.
●5 layers of disinfection and purification design
Indoor unclean air under the action of circulating fan, through the primary filter filter hair and other large particles of dust. The filtered air reaches the plasma sterilization area. The plasma is rich in active free radicals, which can effectively kill microorganisms in the air and degrade harmful substances in the air. Finally, the harmful gases and odors in the air are absorbed and degraded through the photocatalyst of the composite filter element.
(2)UV Laminar Flow Sterilizer：
UV laminar flow sterilizer is mainly composed of primary filter, fan, UV sterilization lamp, high efficiency filter and so on. Under the action of the fan, the indoor air enters the air from below and exits the air from above. It circulates through the ultraviolet sterilization area for laminar sterilization and disinfection, and then filters the air with high efficiency filter net.
At the same time, the machine can realize the automatic detection and control of PM2.5, and display the PM2.5 value, temperature and humidity level under the current working state at any time. Users can flexibly choose the function and speed regulating gear according to the needs.
According to the test, the killing rate of Staphylococcus alba is ≥99.90% when the "maximum wind speed" and "ultraviolet light" are opened for 60min in the 20m³ test chamber, and the killing rate of natural bacteria in the air is ≥90% when the "maximum wind speed" and "ultraviolet light" are opened for 60min in the 150m³ closed space. All of them can meet the evaluation provisions of "Technical Specification for Disinfection".
The machine is suitable for air disinfection in medical and health institutions such as operating rooms, treatment rooms, examination rooms and various public places.

Plasma Air Disinfection VS UV Laminar Air Disinfection：
A.UV Laminar Air Disinfection
Advantages:
1. High efficiency: ultraviolet light has a broad spectrum bactericidal ability, which can kill a variety of microorganisms including bacteria, viruses, fungi, spores, etc.
2. No chemical residue: harmful substances will not be produced in the ultraviolet disinfection process, avoiding secondary pollution.
3. No odor: ultraviolet disinfection will not change the taste of the air, keep the indoor air fresh.
Cons:
Uv disinfection process will produce a certain amount of radiation, long-term or large exposure to UV will cause harm to the human body, so pay attention to avoid close contact when using.
2. Light-sensitive microorganisms may have certain resistance and cannot achieve good bactericidal effect.
B.Plasma Air Disinfection
Advantages:
1. It can effectively reduce dust particles, dust removal and haze in the air;
2. A lot of energy is generated during the formation of positive and negative ions, which can help kill microorganisms;
3. It is not affected by light and can be carried out at low temperatures, so it is more suitable for various environments and scenes.
Cons:
1. High equipment cost: plasma disinfection equipment and maintenance costs are also relatively high, for some small businesses or individual users, may increase economic pressure.
2. Compared with ultraviolet disinfection, plasma disinfection technology has relatively low bactericidal efficiency, especially for tolerant microorganisms, such as mycobacterium tuberculosis and hydrophilic viruses.
In short, UV laminar flow air disinfection and plasma air disinfection have their own advantages and disadvantages, you can choose according to the actual situation of your dental office.
