Frequency evaluation of Pseudomonas SPP contamination in the dental unit water line system at Mashhad dental school
Authors
Abstract:
Background and aim: One of the well-known bacteria in dental unit water contamination is Pseudomonas aueroginosa. The aim of the present study was to evaluate the amount of Pseudomonas aeruginosa species infection in the dental unit water samples of Dental Faculty of Mashhad University of Medical Sciences. Material and methods: Water samples collected randomly from the turbines of 10% of the active dental units in Mashhad Dental Faculty. Samples were collected at three time points including beginning of the day prior flushing, beginning of day after 2 min flushing, and middle of day after 20 sec flushing. Data analyzed with SPSS version 20 software using two-way ANOVA test and 95% of confidence interval. Results: All samples were infected at the first time point. At the beginning of the day prior flushing, the water contamination was higher than ADA standard in all departments except periodontology and operative dentistry. Water contamination decreased significantly after flushing at the beginning of day and middle of day measurements (P-value < 0.001). However, no significant difference was observed between beginning of day after flushing and middle of day samples. Conclusion: High bacterial infection was found in dental unit water samples of Mashhad Dental Faculty regarding P. aeruginosa bacteria. Flushing was an effective measure to reduce the bacterial count of dental units.

Multiple approaches to control dental unit water line biofilm contamination
Biofilms form rapidly on dental unit waterlines. The specific design of dental units favors bacteria to colonize surfaces and to form biofilm in water supply tubes, including dental unit water line (DUWL). The majority of the organisms in the biofilm are harmless environmental species, but some dental units may harbour opportunistic respiratory pathogens. Microbiological control of dental unit ...
