Comfort zone 40-60 %
The healthy indoor climate in dental surgeries.
In dental surgeries, the treatment and well-being of patients is the main focus. A health-promoting indoor climate is therefore an important component in the overall range of services offered by a dental facility.
This is because scientific findings show that the indoor climate has a major influence on the health, well-being and performance of patients, dentists and practice staff. The comfort zone of a person lies between 40 and 60 % in relation to the relative humidity (RH). Between these two values, the person feels comfortable, is efficient and remains healthy.
Health aspect
Best function of our natural protection
Optimal working conditions for the mucous membranes in nose and mouth. These protect patients, doctors and staff against the penetration of particles, bacteria and viruses into their airways.
Transmission rate of viruses drops
The transmission rate of viruses via the air is reduced because virus particles form larger droplets at a humidity level of 40-60 % and thus sink to the ground faster.
Shorter survival time of viruses
The survival time of viruses on surfaces is reduced at an air humidity of 40-60 %. Viruses with a fat cover (e.g. corona viruses) are most unstable under these conditions.
General well-being
Better hydration
of the skin
The skin's state of hydration is in the perfect range at an air humidity of 40-60 %. Complaints such as itching and skin irritation are reduced for patients, doctors and practice staff.
Lower evaporation rate of the eyes
At an air humidity of 40-60 %, significantly less moisture evaporates via the eyes. The eyes of patients, doctors and practice staff are thus better protected against dehydration.
Fewer stress symptoms
A humidity of 40-60 % leads to fewer stress symptoms and thus improves the conditions for a positive course of treatment for patients, doctors and practice staff.
Performance
Improved concentration ability
Fewer symptoms
of fatigue
Increased
motivation
Doctors and practice staff who feel well and enjoy good health are demonstrably more concentrated, alert and motivated. Performance improves with the increase of exactly these three factors and also depends on controlled and hygienic indoor air. This added value then in turn benefits the patients' well-being.
The advantages for your dental practice:
- Best health protection for patients, doctors and practice staff
- Prevention of disease transmission in practice rooms
- Best basis for a complication-free healing process for patients
- Patients feel well and are more relaxed during the treatment
- Greater concentration and stress resistance among doctors and practice staff; therefore lower error rate and more positive treatment progress
- Reduced sickness rate among staff
A stable comfort zone 40-60%
With heating in autumn/winter, the relative humidity decreases.
Keeping the air humidity stable in our comfort zone at 40-60 % is not always easy and can only be reliably guaranteed by technical humidification of the indoor air. Especially in autumn and winter, we quickly leave the optimal range between 40 and 60 % relative humidity due to the regular and necessary exchange of the heated indoor air with colder outside air. This is because cold air can physically absorb less moisture than warmer air. If this outside air now enters a warm room and warms up from, for example, 0 °C to 22 °C, the relative humidity (RH) of this heated air cannot exceed approx. 20 % in the end. This means that in winter, the supply of fresh air inevitably leads to a reduction in the humidity of the indoor air and to leaving the comfort zone of 40-60 %.
For this reason, the German Building Climate Association (FGK) recommends that planners, architects and operators of buildings supplement ventilation systems with professional air humidification systems to control the humidity and ensure a healthy indoor climate.
