Microbial contamination of dental unit waterlines: prevalence, intensity and microbiological characteristics.

J F Williams1, A M Johnston, B Johnson, M K Huntington, C D Mackenzie.   

Abstract

Microbiological studies on dental unit water samples from 150 operatories revealed widespread and unacceptably high levels of contamination. Biofilm formation along the walls of the fine-bore waterlines is primarily responsible. These findings are reviewed and their relevance to contemporary infection control concerns discussed.
