Risk assessment for the spread of Candida sp. in dental chair unit waterlines using molecular techniques

Aims: The aim of this study was to evaluate the presence of yeasts in dental chair unit waterlines (DCUWLs) and to test their ability to form biofilms. Materials and methods: Eighteen dental waterlines were analysed by culture in liquid Sabouraud in order to allow the quantification and the purifica...
