Abstract:
Objective To investigate the management and pollution status of dental unit waterlines(DUWLs)in a spe-cialized medical institution in Shanghai,providing data support for subsequent scientific infection control intervention measures.Methods Using a cross-sectional survey method and bacterial culture techniques,we investigated the disinfection management measures and bacterial contamination of DUWLs in the medical institution's dental treatment units.Results Among the 14 i-tems covered by the survey,there were significant differences in the implementation rates of each item,and the overall qualifica-tion rate of water samples from DUWLs was only 60.5％.Conclusion There are differences in the management of oral water use among clinical departments within specialized medical institutions in Shanghai,suggesting that the management level needs to be improved,and routine disinfection and maintenance of DUWLs should be strengthened.
