Dental unit waterlines remain one of the most overlooked infection prevention challenges in dentistry, yet contaminated water can have serious consequences for both patients and dental teams. This engaging CE webinar separates fact from fiction while giving participants practical, evidence-based strategies they can implement immediately. We'll explore how biofilm forms, why it can be so difficult to eliminate, and what current research tells us about testing, treatment, maintenance, and documentation. You'll also discover how equipment design can play a role in reducing biofilm formation, including newer delivery systems engineered to minimize stagnant water and simplify long-term waterline maintenance. Whether you're just getting started or refining an existing waterline program, you'll leave with a realistic roadmap for keeping your dental unit waterlines clean, compliant, and working for you—not against you.

At the completion of this CE webinar, participants will be able to:
• Explain how biofilm develops within dental unit waterlines and why effective waterline management is essential for patient and clinician safety
• Differentiate the key components of an effective waterline program, including shocking, treatment, testing, documentation, and routine maintenance
• Identify how equipment design and manufacturer recommendations can support long-term waterline management and reduce opportunities for biofilm formation   ( disclaimer, bio and commercial disclosure )
