title: Control methods of the microbial water quality in dental unit waterlines.
abstract: Microbiological control of water quality in dental units waterlines is extremely significant for patients and dental personnel. Based on the latest scientific literature, ways of reducing microbial contamination of dental treatment water and biofilm elimination are presented. The use of disinfectants, drying, and flushing are described. Further research to evaluate effectiveness, convenience on a day-to-day basis and economic aspects of various methods is required
