it is necessary to have it cared for, cleaned and disinfected by the practice
team regularly. This will minimize the risk of contamination for patients
and users and ensure proper functioning.
The national requirements and recommendations for hygiene and
disinfection must be observed, e.g., Robert Koch Institute (RKI),
American Dental Association (ADA), Centers for Disease Control and
Prevention (CDC), etc.
