Reliable reprocessing of handpieces and turbines remains a significant challenge for many practices, particularly amid strict regulatory requirements and the need for efficient, reproducible processes. Next week, MELAG will host a 45-minute webinar offering expert insights into the reprocessing and care of dental handpieces. The session will cover best practices for hygiene workflows, instrument protection and regulatory compliance. It will also feature the online world premiere of a new solution designed to help enhance patient safety and maintain consistent instrument quality.
The webinar will address key challenges in dental practices by offering structured guidance on optimised reprocessing cycles, including cleaning, disinfection, care and sterilisation. In addition, participants will gain insight into common causes of costly instrument repairs and learn how proper handling and maintenance can help prevent them.
Hygiene experts Lennart Hans (left) and Romy Zacher will inform dental professionals about current international guidelines and provide practical insight into efficient and compliant hygiene processes.
Another focus of the session will be compliance with international standards. The webinar will outline best practices for compliant documentation and traceability, helping ensure that reprocessing steps can be reliably recorded and reproduced. Participants will also receive an overview of the internal structure of straight and contra-angle handpieces, supporting a broader understanding of risk classification and its impact on reprocessing procedures.
A highlight of the webinar will be the 10-minute online world premiere of MELAcare, a new solution for the cleaning, disinfection and optional care of up to six hollow instruments in a single process. Designed to be used directly between treatments, MELAcare aims to address common time and cost challenges associated with reprocessing workflows.
The session will be led by hygiene experts Lennart Hans and Romy Zacher, who will also answer participant questions during a live Q&A. After the session, attendees will receive a MELAG hygiene certificate confirming their participation.
Registration for the webinar is free of charge. It is scheduled to be streamed live online on 10 June at 5 p.m. CEST. More information can be found at www.melag.com/en/webinar-2026.
