Efficacy of dental unit disinfectants against Candida spp. and Hartmannella vermiformis

In conclusion, none of the tested disinfectants could eradicate yeasts or FLA. Moreover, the anti‐yeast activity of Oxygenal6© was reduced in presence of FLA. Both sessile or planktonic and/or mixed or single species conditions should be considered when evaluating the activity of disinfectants for DUWL maintenance. This study also highlighted that FLA should be included in the testing protocols. This article is protected by copyright. All rights reserved.
