For unwrapped loads, it even takes less than 9 minutes. In addition, the mini version of the popular Lisa sterilizer from W&H is fully equipped and can keep up with all the features and functionalities of larger type B sterilizers.

The direct relationship between intraoral and general health, as well as the bidirectional influence that they may have on one another, is well-known (1,2). It is absolutely essential to consider both factors when planning preventive intraoral measures and treatment in the dental practice.

A 74-year-old patient presents for a consultation. The anamnesis shows that the patient has well-controlled hypertension and is taking Lixiana. Additionally, the patient had a kidney carcinoma in 2020. The patient’s lifestyle is unremarkable. She has no natural teeth left and has six implants in both the upper and lower jaws, which are fitted with crowns or bridges. Current findings show no peri-implant mucositis or peri-implantitis; however, there are occasional minor bleedings at the implant sites.
