Daily Disinfection for Dental Suction Systems

DÜRR DENTAL Orotol plus is a concentrated disinfectant, cleaner and deodoriser developed specifically for dental suction systems, amalgam separators and associated dental-unit components. Dental suction systems continuously transport saliva, blood, rinsing fluids and other organic residues during treatment. Consequently, regular suction-system hygiene plays an important role in maintaining a clean and properly functioning dental unit. Orotol plus provides a dedicated solution for this daily hygiene requirement. It combines disinfection, cleaning and deodorisation in one product and is designed for use in dental suction systems. Furthermore, Orotol plus forms an important part of the DÜRR DENTAL hygiene system. While Orotol plus provides regular disinfection and cleaning, MD 555 provides intensive cleaning against stubborn inorganic deposits such as limescale and prophylaxis residues. Therefore, using the two products according to the manufacturer's instructions creates a more comprehensive suction-system maintenance routine.

What Is DÜRR DENTAL Orotol plus?

Orotol plus is a professional suction-system disinfectant and cleaner from DÜRR DENTAL. It is designed specifically for the hygiene of dental suction systems and amalgam separators. The product helps address the contamination that can enter suction lines during routine dental treatment. Unlike a general-purpose surface disinfectant, Orotol plus is formulated for the particular requirements of dental suction systems. The product provides three functions:

• Disinfection
• Cleaning
• Deodorisation

Consequently, it can be incorporated into the routine daily maintenance of dental suction systems.

Why Is Suction-System Disinfection Important?

A dental suction system handles fluids and particles throughout the working day. Saliva, blood, rinsing water and other organic material can therefore enter the suction lines. Without an appropriate hygiene routine, residues can accumulate inside the system. Furthermore, contamination inside suction systems can contribute to unpleasant odours and hygiene concerns. For this reason, DÜRR DENTAL recommends regular suction-system disinfection as part of dental-unit hygiene. Orotol plus provides a dedicated solution for this purpose.

Key Benefits of DÜRR DENTAL Orotol plus

Daily Suction-System Disinfection

First, Orotol plus is designed for regular disinfection of dental suction systems. Therefore, it can form part of the end-of-day or other manufacturer-recommended daily hygiene routine.

Cleaning Action

In addition to disinfection, Orotol plus provides a cleaning effect. Consequently, it helps remove organic contamination that enters the suction system during dental treatment.

Deodorising Effect

Orotol plus also provides deodorisation. Therefore, it can help address unpleasant odours associated with contamination inside suction systems.

Designed for Dental Suction Systems

DÜRR DENTAL developed Orotol plus specifically for dental suction systems and amalgam separators. As a result, practices can use a product designed around the requirements of dental-unit suction hygiene rather than relying on unsuitable general-purpose cleaners.

Suitable for Amalgam Separators

Orotol plus is suitable for use in dental suction systems incorporating amalgam separators. This makes it a practical component of routine suction-system maintenance.

Complementary to MD 555

Furthermore, Orotol plus and MD 555 have different roles. Orotol plus provides routine disinfection and cleaning, while MD 555 provides intensive cleaning against inorganic deposits. Therefore, practices should use each product according to its intended purpose rather than treating one as a replacement for the other.

Orotol plus vs MD 555

Understanding the difference between these products is important when establishing the correct dental-unit hygiene workflow.

Feature	Orotol plus	MD 555
Primary function	Disinfection and cleaning	Intensive cleaning
Main application	Dental suction systems	Dental suction systems
Disinfection	Yes	No
Organic contamination	Yes	Not the primary purpose
Inorganic deposits	Not the primary purpose	Yes
Limescale	Not the primary purpose	Yes
Prophylaxis powder deposits	Not the primary purpose	Yes
Deodorisation	Yes	No
Routine use	Regular/daily hygiene	Intensive periodic cleaning
Complementary product	MD 555	Orotol plus

Therefore, Orotol plus should be part of the routine suction-system hygiene programme, while MD 555 should be used for periodic intensive cleaning.

Complete Orotol plus Suction-System Hygiene Workflow

A consistent workflow helps dental practices maintain their suction systems effectively.

Step 1: Complete the Working Day

At the end of the working day, prepare the dental unit for suction-system hygiene. Remove or manage any disposable components according to the dental-unit manufacturer's instructions.

Step 2: Prepare the Orotol plus Solution

Prepare Orotol plus at the concentration specified in the current manufacturer's instructions. For the standard application, DÜRR DENTAL specifies a 2% solution. Always use the manufacturer's dosing instructions rather than estimating the concentration.

Step 3: Use an Appropriate Dosing System

Where applicable, use the DÜRR DENTAL OroCup or another compatible dosing system. The dosing system helps prepare and introduce the correct quantity of solution into the suction system.

Step 4: Draw the Solution Through the Suction System

Operate the suction system so that the prepared Orotol plus solution passes through the relevant suction lines. Ensure that the solution reaches the required components according to the dental unit's instructions.

Step 5: Treat the Spittoon Where Applicable

Where the dental unit design permits, include the spittoon and associated components in the hygiene process according to the manufacturer's instructions.

Step 6: Observe the Required Contact Time

Allow the solution to remain in the system for the manufacturer's specified contact time. Do not shorten the exposure period without confirming that the alternative procedure remains valid for the product and application.

Step 7: Rinse According to the Instructions

After the required contact time, follow the manufacturer's instructions regarding rinsing. Use the specified procedure for the particular dental unit and suction system.

Step 8: Resume Normal Operation

After completing the hygiene process, the suction system can return to normal operation. Repeat the routine according to the manufacturer's recommended frequency.

Recommended Dental Suction Hygiene Programme

A professional dental practice can structure suction-system maintenance around two complementary activities.

Routine Hygiene – Orotol plus

Use Orotol plus regularly for suction-system disinfection and cleaning. DÜRR DENTAL recommends daily disinfection, at least at the end of the working day.

Intensive Cleaning – MD 555

Use MD 555 for periodic intensive cleaning. DÜRR DENTAL recommends intensive cleaning with MD 555 at least twice per week, depending on the practice's workload and contamination level. Therefore, a simplified workflow is: Daily Orotol plus → Periodic MD 555 intensive cleaning → Thorough rinsing → Continue daily Orotol plus routine This approach separates routine disinfection from intensive deposit removal.

What Contamination Does Orotol plus Address?

During dental treatment, suction systems can receive organic material such as:

• Saliva
• Blood
• Rinsing fluids
• Organic residues
• Microbial contamination

Orotol plus is designed to provide cleaning and disinfection within the suction system. However, stubborn inorganic deposits require a different approach. Consequently, DÜRR DENTAL recommends MD 555 for deposits such as limescale and prophylaxis-product residues.

Orotol plus for Dental Clinics

Orotol plus is particularly relevant to practices that operate dental suction systems throughout the day. This includes:

• General dental practices
• Implantology clinics
• Periodontic practices
• Oral surgery clinics
• Dental hospitals
• Dental teaching institutions
• High-volume dental practices
• Clinics using DÜRR DENTAL suction systems

The product can form part of a documented dental-unit hygiene SOP.

Orotol plus and Dental Unit Maintenance

Suction-system hygiene should form part of a broader dental-unit maintenance programme. Therefore, practices should combine:

1. Daily suction-system disinfection
2. Periodic intensive cleaning
3. Correct handling of amalgam separators
4. Regular inspection of suction lines
5. Correct disposal of contaminated materials
6. Equipment servicing
7. Manufacturer-recommended preventive maintenance

A chemical hygiene programme does not replace mechanical servicing. If suction performance remains poor after appropriate cleaning, the practice should arrange a technical inspection.
