Abstract:
Dental unit water lines harbour considerable amounts of bacteria, derived from the biofilm on their inner surfaces, and the continuous reservoir of bacteria carries the potential to infect patients and dental workers alike. This article reviews the different methods of control and provides recent recommendations for ensuring that water of satisfactory quality is delivered to the patient.
