In a previous post, we highlighted an important finding: according to a meta-analysis published in BMC Oral Health, 77% of the samples analysed from dental unit waterlines exceeded the bacterial limits recommended by the CDC.
This finding shows that dental unit water management is not a secondary concern, but an integral part of microbiological control within the dental practice.
Narrow tubing, low flow rates and periods of stagnation can promote the formation of biofilm on the internal surfaces of the water circuits, making a specific and consistent sanitation protocol essential.
R45 was developed for the treatment of dental unit waterlines, acting precisely where daily control is most difficult: inside the water circuits.
Key features:
• Class IIb medical device
• Certified bactericidal, mycobactericidal, fungicidal and virucidal activity
• Free-radical mechanism of action for effective biofilm removal
• Sterilises, breaks down and cleans in a single 60-second treatment
The microbiological quality of dental unit water depends not only on the water delivered at the outlet, but also on the consistent management of the entire water circuit.
