The increasing resistance to antibiotics and the aging of the population of patients who visit the dental practice can lead to more frequent infections with (resistant) microorganisms. The prevention of cross contamination by the implementation of effective measures in the area of hygiene and procedures of infection control is therefore important. The furnishing of a dental practice can play an important part in prevention. What are the important issues in furnishing a practice? A distinction is made between 'critical' and 'non-critical' rooms. Patients are only treated and instruments are only prepared for reuse in critical rooms. In these rooms, a strict separation is maintained between clean and contaminated, in both place and time. Only furniture that is strictly necessary for the treatment of patients is present in the critical rooms. Materials and equipment that are kept within the splatter area must be stored as much as possible in drawers and closed cabinets. Water taps can be controlled in a touch-free manner and are located within the present walking routes of the practice.
抗生素耐药性的不断增加以及前往牙科诊所就诊患者群体的老龄化，可能导致（耐药）微生物感染更加频繁。因此，通过在卫生和感染控制程序领域实施有效措施来预防交叉污染非常重要。牙科诊所的装修布置在预防方面可以发挥重要作用。诊所装修布置的重要问题有哪些？区分“关键”和“非关键”房间。仅在关键房间对患者进行治疗且仅在这些房间准备器械以供再次使用。在这些房间里，无论在空间还是时间上，清洁区和污染区都要严格分开。关键房间里只摆放治疗患者严格必需的家具。位于飞溅区域内的材料和设备必须尽可能存放在抽屉和封闭的柜子里。水龙头可以通过非接触方式控制，且位于诊所现有的通行路线内。
