Dental Practices

1. Powerful yet safe Disinfection

HOCl is broad-spectrum: It kills bacteria, viruses, fungi, and spores including SARS-CoV-2, MRSA, and oral pathogens like Streptococcus mutans and Porphyromonas gingivalis.
It’s non-toxic, non-irritating, and pH-neutral, making it safe for use around patients, staff, and sensitive dental equipment.

2. Ideal for Aerosol-Generating Environments

Dental procedures (e.g. ultrasonic scaling, drilling) generate aerosols that can carry pathogens.
HOCl can be fogged or misted into the air and onto surfaces, reducing airborne and surface contamination within 30–60 seconds.

3. Biofilm Removal in Dental Waterlines

HOCl is highly effective at dissolving biofilms in dental unit waterlines (DUWLs), which are often contaminated with bacteria and fungi.
It’s one of the few agents that can shock and maintain waterline hygiene without corroding internal tubing.

4. Surface & Equipment Disinfectant

Used to disinfect:

HDental chairs
Light handles.
Impression trays.
Countertops and cabinetry.
Unlike bleach or quats, HOCl won’t damage upholstery, plastics, or electronics.

5. Oral Rinse & Periodontal Applications

HOCl is used as a mouth rinse to reduce plaque, gingivitis, and periodontal pathogens.
More effective than chlorhexidine with fewer side effects like staining or taste alteration.

Intraoral Use: Mouth Rinses & Periodontal Care:

Pre – procedural rinse to reduce microbial load.
MPeriodontal irrigant for gingivitis and periodontitis.
Root canal disinfectant ( in same protocols).
Reduces plaque, halitosis and post-surgical infection.
Non-cytotoxic to gingival fibroblast and oral mucosa, unlike chlorhexidine.

Aerosol and Airborne Pathogen Control:

Applied via fogging or misting to reduce airborne microbial load post-procedure.
Reduces fallow time between patients.
Safe to use in occupied spaces due to low toxicity and no VOCs.
