THE NUPRO FREEDOM SYSTEM WAS ADOPTED BECAUSE IT IS SAFER FOR PATIENT USE.

WHY WE USE NUPRO TECHNOLOGY

We are pleased to offer our patients the gold standard in infection control.

One important step that Dr. Cappuccio took when assuming ownership at Seneca Ridge was to implement a hygiene protocol that eliminated the risk of cross-contamination of dental handpieces between patients. Traditionally, and in many other offices nearby, hygiene handpieces were simply wiped down with an antibacterial wipe between patients.  Unfortunately, according to the Center for Disease Control, this protocol is not adequate for removing the potential for cross-contamination of blood borne pathogens between patients.

How does the Nupro System address this concern?

The handpiece motor, turbines, and internal components do not have to go through a harsh sterilization process, but an external metal autoclavable sheath is sterilized after each patient use.  The protective sheaths are exposed in the oral cavity, but the less durable components of the handpiece are not. This system solves the problem of simply wiping down handpieces between each use because the sheaths are meant to be sterilized using a steam autoclave.  

Patients who are curious about the system are always pleased that their dentist took the time and invested the money required to keep them safe.  Dr. Cappuccio takes pride in his work and his hygiene protocol and is honored to have invested in this fantastic technology that makes infection control at the highest level possible.
