Effective disinfecting of negative pressure pipelines of DCUs reduces the risk of cross infection in dental care

CONCLUSION: Double-chain quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant has excellent bactericidal ability and anti-biofilm effect, and it is less corrosive to the fittings of the pipelines. Thus, the double-chain quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant is a potential novel disinfectant for negative pressure suction pipelines of DCUs to control cross infection during dental treatment.CLINICAL SIGNIFICANCE: It is essential to add all these data to our dental practice to control cross infection with a broader landscape.PMID:38193138 | PMC:PMC10773641 | DOI:10.1080/20002297.2023.2299538
