Monarch Lines Cleaner Study
By: John A. Molinari, Ph.D., and Peri Nelson, B.S.
The objective of this study is to investigate the ability of the Monarch Lines Cleaner to remove microorganisms from dental waterlines in outpatient practices. Water samples were aseptically taken from five self-contained bottle systems in two dental practices, in order to assess bacterial levels prior to treatment with Monarch Lines Cleaner.
Following this initial interval, the waterlines were exposed to the Monarch Lines Cleaner once a week for the remaining three months of the investigation. Samples of treated water were collected weekly and processed in the same manner as described above to determine concentrations of waterborne bacteria.
