Abstract

MICROBIAL AND BIOFILM CONTAMINATION OF DENTAL UNIT WATERLINES- VARIOUS APPROACHES TO RISK REDUCTION

Dr. Tanoj Kumar*, Dr. Jazib Nazeer, Dr. Avanindra Kumar, Dr. Md. Asad Iqubal, Dr. Abhishek Kumar and Pallawee Choudhary

ABSTRACT

The unique feature of dental chair water lines is that they rapidly develops a biofilm on the dental water supply lines combined with the generation of potentially contaminated aerosols. The quality of dental unit water is of considerable importance because patients and dentist are regularly exposed to aerosols and water generated from the dental unit. Dental water may become heavily contaminated with opportunistic respiratory pathogens such as Legionella. The main aim of infection control is to reduce the risk from exposure to potential pathogens and to create a safe working environment in which to treat patients. This review article is aimed to evaluate the range of currently available infection control methods and prevention strategies which are designed to reduce the impact of the biofilm on dental water contamination.
