Evaluation of Microbial Contamination and Practical Effectiveness of Chemical Disinfection in Dental Unit Waterlines Supplied with Reverse Osmosis Water: A Sequential and Non-Randomized Study
Despite the recommendation of purified water, dental unit waterlines (DUWLs) readily form biofilm and suffer persistent microbial contamination, threatening both patients and dental staff. This study aimed to evaluate the microbial contamination and practical effectiveness of chemical disinfection in reverse osmosis (R...
