Why is air quality a real concern in dental practices?

Every procedure performed in a dental practice generates aerosols and microdroplets containing potentially harmful pathogens. These are released into the air and combine with particles from disinfectants, impression materials and dental instruments. In small or poorly ventilated rooms, this invisible pollution builds up and creates a genuine risk for both patients and practitioners exposed throughout the day.

To address these challenges, JVD has developed air purification systems tailored to the demands of dental environments. Compact, quiet, low maintenance and effective against fine particles and odours, our equipment integrates naturally into treatment rooms. Designed for daily use, it helps create a healthier, safer and more serene working atmosphere for all.

Is dentistry one of the most health-risking professions?

In dental surgeries, every patient procedure generates airborne contaminants that remain suspended for hours. Add to this the chemical residues from disinfectants, adhesives or impression products, and the result is a saturated, confined environment with continuous exposure for staff.

Beyond the risk of infection, the real issue is working comfort and respiratory wellbeing. Fatigue, headaches, irritation and persistent odours are all underestimated symptoms that can affect focus, treatment quality and long-term health of the dental team.

Shield tested in real world conditions

To assess the real impact of air purification in dental practices, JVD, a French hygiene expert for over 40 years, conducted an on-site study in a dental clinic near Nantes. The two-phase study measured indoor air pollution levels during patient care and evaluated the performance of the Shield Compact purifier.

Conducted in collaboration with laboratories TERA Environnement and Conidia Coniphy, and sensor manufacturers Ellona and Ethera, the study tracked fine particles (PM1, PM2.5, PM10), biological aerosols, VOCs and odours in real time. The results were clear: as soon as the Shield Compact was activated, pollutant peaks dropped significantly. Quiet, compact and filter free, this purifier fits seamlessly into daily dental operations without disturbing staff or patients.
