Ways to Stay in Compliance
Comply with ADA/CDC Guidelines
Infection caused by waterborne organisms from contaminated water sources and the subsequent burden of disease is not merely a problem for developing countries; it also poses a significant threat in countries with established water treatment procedures and infrastructures, especially for healthcare facilities treating immunocompromised or critically ill patients.
Comply with ADA/CDC Guidelines
The goal of ≤500 CFU/mL for dental treatment water has been recommended by both the American Dental Association (ADA) and Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) for nonsurgical dental procedures
How’s your Waterline Health?
Biofilm buildup, which hosts dangerous bacteria is a certainty in your dental unit waterlines. The ADA states, “The only way to know that a dental unit waterline cleaning regimen is effective is to test the water coming out of the unit.”
