Ozonated water kills bacteria and viruses on contact. The TherOzone machine safely produces ozonated water and can be a valuable asset to your dental practice. The TherOzone unit is a countertop sized machine that quickly and safely dissolves ozone gas into ordinary distilled water. For convenience, the water is contained in standard dental-unit water bottles. To use, simply fill the bottle with distilled water, attach to the unit and press start. After several minutes, the ozonating cycle ends and the aqueous ozone solution is ready to use.

T-8000 THEROZONE FEATURES & BENEFITS

•    Redundant safety systems
        Eliminates risk of exposure to ozone gas.
        Unit will not operate unless bottle is locked in place.
        Excess ozone gas is converted to oxygen via a thermocatalitic ozone destruct system.

•    Self-renewing system that dehumidifies ambient air
        Avoid costly replacement filters.

•    Convenient delivery system
        Easily dispenses into a dental-unit water bottle.

•    Universal power supply
        Power cord provided will convert 110 or 220 to a low voltage 24 volt power supply.

Ozone is useful as a disinfectant for killing bacteria, viruses and mold spores and rendering harmless contaminates that are on instrument and device surfaces.

Ozone dissolved in water decays to oxygen, with a half-life of 30 minutes at 20°C (68°F), and at higher temperatures decomposes more rapidly. Therefore it cannot be readily bottled for extended storage for later use. It is desirable to manufacture ozone, dissolve it in water, and use the ozone/water composition (bring it into contact with the surface to be treated) as quickly as possible.

It is well known that dental-unit water lines (the tubes that connect the high-speed handpiece, air/water syringe and ultrasonic scaler to the water supply) will develop a bacterial or fungal growth on their inner surfaces, referred to as a biofilm. Tests show that, if not properly maintained, these water supply systems may have bacterial counts in excess of one million colony forming units of bacteria per millimeter of water (>1x10⁶ CFU/ml). While bacterial counts in dental units are generally less then 1x10⁶, they are usually far in excess of the American Dental Association (ADA) recommended bacterial levels of below 200 CFU/ml in dental water supply systems.

Bacteria may be present in your dental-unit water lines

According to the ADA, “Dental unit water systems designed for general dental practice must be regularly maintained in order to deliver water of an optimal microbiologic quality.” In 1993, the Centers for Disease Control recommended that dental waterlines be flushed each clinic day to reduce the microbial load. The ADA suggests that in order to improve the quality of water, dental unit water lines should be treated with one or more commercial devices.

Published research shows that ozonated water can significantly reduce the presence of biomolecules in dental-unit water lines. In addition, ozonated water will quickly breakdown into plain, pure water and oxygen without leaving behind any hazardous residues found with other disinfecting methods.
