This study's purpose was to determine the effect chemical cleaning had on the microbial
quality of water emitted from dental unit waterlines (DUWL), 3-way syringes, and power …

Narrow dental unit water lines provide a favorable environment for the multiplication of
bacteria to high levels. Warming of the unit water to 37 C, water storage tanks, slow flow or …

Various approaches to prevention and control of microbial contamination of dental unit water
are evolving. Currently available methods and emerging technologies are reviewed here in …

Purpose To monitor water emitted from dental units connected to centralized water
distillation units fitted with reservoirs for dispensing chemicals designed to control biofilms …

Purpose Monitoring microbial concentrations in water emitted from dental unit water lines
(DUWL) is an important safety procedure. Improper handling of test water specimens could …

Objectives: To test the efficacy of an intermittent use, dental unit waterline cleaner,
containing 0.12% chlorhexidine, in a proprietary formulation, to reduce bacterial levels in …

Background. This study evaluated five chemical disinfectants to compare their abilities to
improve dental unit waterline quality and assess their effects, if any, on the biofilm layer …

The purpose of this study was to evaluate the efficacy of slightly acidic electrolyzed water
(SAEW) against the contamination of the water line of dental units and the effects of SAEW …

The purpose of this study was to assess water samples from a hospital dental clinic to
