ORAL MICROBIOLOGY AND PRIMARY DENTAL CARE Risk Assessment of Dental Unit Waterline Contamination
Effective infection control is one of the cornerstones of good practice and clinical governance. Due to a combination of negative publicity and an increased scientific knowledge of dental unit waterlines’ (DUWL) biofilms and their associated risks, contamination of dental unit waterl ines has become a prominent infection-control issue. The perceived threat to public health from DUWL contaminati...
متن کاملMicrobial contamination of dental unit waterlines.
The specific structure of dental units favours the presence of biofilm and microbial contamination of the dental unit waterlines (DUWL) water. The ability of bacteria to colonize surfaces and to form biofilm in water supply tubes, including DUWL, is a common phenomenon, which has been well documented, just as with difficulties in biofilm removal and prevention of its regrowth. Microorganisms fr...
متن کاملMicrobial contamination in dental unit waterlines.
The quality of water in a dental unit is of considerable importance because patients and dental staff are regularly exposed to water and aerosol generated from the dental unit. The aim of this study was to evaluate the occurrence of microbial contamination in dental unit waterlines. Water samples were collected aseptically from the waterlines (reservoir, triple-syringe, high-speed) of 15 dental...

متن کاملMicrobial contamination of dental unit waterlines: the scientific argument.
The quality of dental unit water is of considerable importance since patients and dental staff are regularly exposed to water and aerosols generated from the dental unit. The unique feature of dental chair water lines is the capacity for rapid development of a biofilm on the dental water supply lines combined with the generation of potentially contaminated aerosols. The biofilm, which is derive...
