Evaluation of Ozone Application in Dental Unit Water Lines Contaminated with Pathogenic Acanthamoeba
BACKGROUND In this study morphological and molecular characterization of Acanthamoeba strains, isolated from dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) were surveyed and the levels of disinfection achievable in vitro by the application of ozone disinfectant to DUWLs were evaluate. METHODS Water samples were collected from air-water syringes, cup fillers and tap water before and at the end of the working ...
متن کاملMolecular analysis for bacterial contamination in dental unit water lines.
Bacterial contamination in dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) was evaluated by molecular techniques in addition to the conventional culture method. Water samples (n=8) from DUWLs were investigated for heterotrophic bacteria by culture method using R2A agar. The selected bacterial antibiotic-resistance genes and Legionella species-specific 16SrDNA were identified by PCR. The profiles of bacterial co...
متن کاملEvaluation of Bacterial Contamination in Dental Unit Water Lines in Zahedan in 2016-2017
Background & Aim: Due to a constant contact of dentists and patients with water and aerosols generated from the dental units, the quality of dental unit waters is very important. This study aimed to evaluate bacterial contamination of dental unit water lines in Zahedan in 2016-2017. Methods: In this descriptive analytical study, 2304 water samples from four parts of unit including cup filler, ...
متن کاملOccupational exposure to endotoxin from contaminated dental unit waterlines.
INTRODUCTION Fine aerosolised droplets and splatter generated during dental procedures influences the composition of the indoor air quality of dental care facilities and poses a potential threat to the workers' health. Therefore there is a need to assess the risks from exposure to bioaerosols and splatter and identify measures of reducing possible hazards. METHODOLOGY A review of the literatu...
متن کاملEconomic comparison of conventional maintenance and electrochemical oxidation to warrant water safety in dental unit water lines
BACKGROUND In preparation for implementation of a central water processing system at a dental department, we analyzed the costs of conventional decentralized disinfection of dental units against a central water treatment concept based on electrochemical disinfection. METHODS The cost evaluation included only the costs of annually required antimicrobial consumables and additional water usage o...
