THE AMERICAN DENTAL ASSOCIATION considers biofilm in dental units to be a fundamental patient safety issue and urges dentists to treat bacteria prevention as a high priority!

PROBLEM #1: BACTERIA & BIOFILM.
According to the American Dental Association, dental unit waterlines have been shown to harbor, in significant numbers, a wide variety of bacteria, fungi, and protozoans.

PROBLEM #2: SENSITIVE AUTOCLAVES.
New autoclaves and Statim® machines require very pure water on a consistent basis or they will not operate properly, will require frequent cleaning and maintenance and could have a shortened lifespan.

PROBLEM #3: EXPENSIVE BOTTLED WATER.
All dentists should use distilled water in their dental units and autoclaves, but bottled distilled water is heavy, it wastes employee time and it’s more expensive than gasoline.
