We use stringent infection control protocols, products and procedures in our practice. They are the foundation of making our practice as infection transmission-free as it can be. We also follow, and in many cases exceed, Italian Health Minister infection control guidelines. Our practice employs the following rigorous quality controls:

• We completely sterilize and disinfect all dental instruments before each use.
• We manually clean all handpieces to remove surface materials and then heat/steam sterilize them in an autoclave before each use.
• We clean all dental instruments in an ultrasonic cleaner, then package and sterlize them in a chemical sterilizer.
• We chemically sterilize all instruments which are sensitive to heat.
• We utilize strict waste control procedures for sharp instruments, such as needles and scalpel blades, in keeping with HM requirements.
• We wear disposable gloves, face masks, and protective eyewear as barrier techniques.
• We change our clinical attire as appropriate.  
• We disinfect all environmental surfaces, such as chairs, headrests, light handles, and counters, prior to each patient treatment.
• We take an initial, comprehensive medical history of each patient, then update it at subsequent appointments.

Nothing is more important than the health and safety of our patients and our employees.
