Dentists today are faced with the challenge of assuring high quality dental unit water. Numerous studies have shown that untreated dental unit water does not even meet EPA standards for drinking water (<500 cfu/ml), and is often highly contaminated with microorganisms. ADA, OSAP, and new CDC guidelines set infection control standards for dental unit water quality that meet or exceed drinking water standards. Scientific research has shown that biofilm that grows in the dental lines serves as the reservoir for bacteria, and this biofilm must be eliminated in order to prevent rapid recontamination with microorganisms, clogging of lines, and endotoxin release by biofilm bacteria.
Now is the time to implement procedures in order to meet the latest infection control guidelines and provide a safe environment for your patients and staff.
Sterilex has the only EPA-registered product for the removal of biofilm and biofilm bacteria.
