Welcome to Bergedent.

INFORMATION GUIDE

GENERAL USAGE AREAS

• Cleaning of all areas is done with appropriate frequency by using disinfection materials in accordance with the standards according to the nature of the surface.

Ozon Regulator

The ventilation systems in our clinics work together with ozone regulators. Thanks to this system, which does not harm human health and ensures that the air in our clinics is constantly cleaned with ozone, viruses and bacteria in the air circulating in our clinics are purified by 99.5%.
Ozone is made up of oxygen molecules. The type of oxygen we are most familiar with, the type of oxygen we breathe every day, is actually dioxygen, or “02”, which is made up of two oxygen molecules.
Ozone is simply three oxygen molecules or “O3”. In the scientific world, ozone is referred to as “trioxygen”. This third oxygen molecule is unstable and shares only a loose coupling with the other two molecules. Therefore, it easily binds to pollution, especially high-smelling pollutants such as smoke. It can also attach itself to viruses, bacteria, mold spores and organic matter. After binding to contaminants, the substance is destroyed. Its ability to bind to other molecules such as smoke and odor gives ozone the ability to quickly clean and deodorize confined spaces.

In each of the dental units used in our clinics, an advanced technology is used that purifies the water used in accordance with European Union standards from viruses and bacteria. It reduces the chance of catching viruses and bacteria from the water used in the mouth by 0%.
