Biofilm formation and a high number of microorganisms in the output water of DWULs has been a main concern in dental practice for several decades. Today, most brands of dental units are equipped with in-built methods for reducing the number of microorganisms and/or eliminating biofilms. For older units, means of cleaning the water are available on the market and have a good efficiency. Ultimately, it is the handling and compliance with instructions rather than the cleaning procedure itself that determines whether a clinic maintains an appropriate standard of water in its dental unit systems.
