taking X-ray images, the X-ray equipment
was placed in a separate room to minimise
risks of radiation exposure.
Also, great emphasis was put on ergo­
nomics and proper working postures, especial­
ly because several users are left-handed.

Finally, equipment for wet suction systems
was selected. Instead of built-in amalgam
separators in each unit, the separation process
is centralised, which saves energy and is more
hygienic. The clinic estimates energy savings
of up to 75%. The system also reduces the cost
of equipment per workstation. Further
savings are achieved on maintenance and
service resources.
The clinic also wants the cleaning system
to be as automated as possible so that
students can handle the routines quickly
and effectively. The ultramodern equipment
