Frequently Asked Questions

Dentaqua will help you:

  • eliminate single-use wipes.
  • reduce failed water tests. 

  • save approx. £750/chair/year.

  • reduce your exposure to harmful chemical disinfectants. 

  • save approx. 4 hours nursing time per week.

Once weekly:

Press the ‘Ecasol’ disinfectant button on your device and fill your reusable spray bottles. 

Then, it’s as simple as:

  1. Spray the surface to be disinfected.

  2. Apply disinfectant to paper towel.

  3. Wipe surfaces as per guidelines.

Fill your dental water bottles each day directly from your Dentaqua device.  Dentaqua fills your water bottle in seconds.

This eliminates the requirement for you to mix chemicals, tablets or other disinfection products. 

Which in turn, saves you time, saves you money, and provides you with clean, safe dental unit water.

Due to its natural constituents and neutral pH, Dentaqua does not leave a visible residue on surfaces.

Yes, you can use Dentaqua ‘dental water’ solution within your ultrasonic scaling systems. 

To better control your dental water quality, we recommend retro-fitting chairs that are mains-fed with a water bottle system.

Within your Dentaqua device, water and a tiny amount of our proprietary salt solution are passed through an electrolytic cell. This creates an environmentally-friendly, non-toxic, water-based disinfectant solution.

Uniquely, Dentaqua produces a solution containing activated hypochlorous acid (HOCI), at a neutral pH, and which is gentle on equipment surfaces and dental materials.  

Yes, hypochlorous acid (HOCl) is peer-reviewed and proven to be non-toxic to human epithelial cells at over 40x the concentration used in dental water. Dentaqua produces activated hypochlorous acid (HOCI) plus short-lived reactive oxygen species (ROS), at a neutral pH. 

These are the same compounds produced by the human immune system to defend against infection. In human biology, hypochlorous acid is generated in activated neutrophils by myeloperoxidase-mediated peroxidation of chloride salt ions, and contributes to immune defence.

 Reactive oxygen species are essential for cellular metabolism, playing a role as secondary messengers and influencing different normal physiological functions of the body. Hypochlorous acid (HOCI) is a core compound in this natural process.

 

As per European Biocides Regulation, Dentaqua hypochlorous acid has a 5 min. contact time.

In the USA, Dentaqua hypochlorous acid has passed the "Hospital Grade Disinfectant" standard with a 2 min. contact time.

Yes. Clinical studies in a number of dental universities over the past 12 years have proven that Dentaqua is compatible with dental equipment and does not affect the composite bond strength.

Dentaqua’s patented system ensures that your disinfectant is accurately produced within specification each and every time you use it. 

 

Dentaqua is not just a device, but rather a system that helps you save time and achieve a far higher standard of infection control, and reducing chemical exposure within your practice.

Your package includes:

  • Dentaqua generator.

  • All device consumables.

  • Surface disinfection dispensing bottles.

  • Concentrate bottles.

  • A3 Customer instructions.

  • Information display cards for waiting rooms showing your enhanced infection control and environmental sustainability efforts. 

You also receive a complimentary supply of high-quality refillable spray bottles, which when used, in combination with biodegradable paper towels, will eliminate the need for you to buy expensive and environmentally unfriendly single-use wipes.

All applications are explained in a clear and detailed ‘Application Guidance’ sheet that is provided with each device on installation.

One Dentaqua’s DW-8 device will provide the dental water and general disinfectant needs of A 10-chair practice. 

No. Microbial contamination and biofilm growth is not inhibited by using bottled or sterile water. Almost all water supplied to dental chairs is potable quality or better, be it bottled, municipal, distilled or sterile.

The problem is not created or solved by the quality of the source water. Rather the microbes and biofilm that are present in the dental waterlines (and often in the water bottle also). Microbial biofilm present in the chair waterlines will contaminate water running through the waterlines, regardless of how clean the water is supplied to the chair. 

Dentaqua’s devices are extremely reliable. However, in the unusual circumstance that an error occurs, if the error is not rectified by our automated ‘error-fix’ procedure, we will replace the device without delay.
