Bacterial Decontamination of Field Dental Units.
Abstract
A portable Army Field Dental Unit was tested for bacterial contamination levels and methods to minimize contamination were explored. Decontamination by flushing or drying did not effect great changes in bacterial contamination but the addition of 3% H2O2 in a 1:100 ratio to water inoculated with Pseudomonas aeruginosa resulted in the elimination of cultivable organisms.
