Often mistaken as unnecessary, shocking your dental unit waterlines is required for every water treatment protocol to be effective. Shocking utilizes a stronger chemical to completely rid your lines of contaminants and enables daily (or continuous) low-level antimicrobial products to work most effectively.
When Should You Shock:
› Before first beginning a treatment protocol or when changing treatment products
› At least every quarter (90 days)
› When your waterline test reveals a contamination level of 200 CFU/mL or more
› For more information, visit ProEdgeDental.com/Shock
After completing the shock treatment, continue your daily treatment product. To find out which treatments are most effective, annual cost, and tips for success, visit ProEdgeDental.com/Treatment-Guide.

I didn't see you guys change the straw, do I need to do that?

@AgnesVelez 6 месяцев назад

Do we shock, test, and then treat? I use the blue tablets I just wanted to make sure I'm not testing with the tablets when I test. 🙏🏽

How do you shock dental cavitron water line?

@biomedicaldepartmentosh-ri4287 3 года назад

Thanks for this video. I have a question, what if their is no bottle in the dental chair and it is directly connected to the main water supply?

@ProEdgeDentalWaterLabs 3 года назад

Hi there! It's a great question and we wish there was a easy answer! But unfortunately, without dental unit water bottles, there is no way to shock. And if you can't shock, there's no way to have full control over your dental unit waterline environment. This is one of the main reasons the CDC recommends independent water reservoirs. So, the best solution is retrofitting the dental units to have water bottles. This can be done relatively inexpensively with a retrofit kit from your service tech. It's not fun to hear, but it is something we highly recommend if the practice wants safe CDC-compliant dental unit waterlines. If you'd like to discuss it further, call 888.843.3343 and one of our specialists can walk you through it.

In California, bleach is NOT approved to use in dental waterlines

@michaelangelotsaparlis3246 4 месяца назад

Do you start the timer right before you flush the first water line with the bleach solution or after you flush all the water lines with the bleach solution. Also do you start flushing one water line after 10 minutes or all the water lines should start being flushed starting with 1 waterline after 10 minutes

@baderaleid8492 3 года назад

how often should I do it . ? If there is any scientific paper or research can I read it ? Thanks

@ProEdgeDentalWaterLabs 3 года назад

Great question! It largely depends on your treatment protocol. For best results, use the ProEdge 3-step protocol (proedgedental.com/3steps) which recommends shocking a minimum of quarterly. However, the only way to know the proper frequency is to test your waterlines frequently, which also is recommended at quarterly (You can learn more about testing recommendations here: proedgedental.com/osap). If you'd like to walk through your office specifics, don't hesitate to give us a call - 888.843.3343!

For the high speed handpiece line, does a hanpice need to be on or without?

@ProEdgeDentalWaterLabs 2 года назад

Hi Christina, great question! When shocking, if you are able to remove the handpiece, we recommend doing so. However, if it is unable to be removed, you can shock through it.

What is straw treatment? You talk about it at about 1:08

@021scorpion Год назад

So quick question, after the system shock can I just detach the bottle and then use it to shock the second unit instead of discarding it?

@ProEdgeDentalWaterLabs Год назад

Hi Cyrus! Great question. Yes, you can use the remining shock solution in your water bottle to shock additional units. If you have any more questions regarding shocking, treating or testing, please email us at support@proedgedental.com and we would be happy to help!

Can you give me a better measurement to mix the bleach in a 2 litter bottle please? I'm not sure how to measure 1 part bleach to 13 parts water. Thanks!

@ProEdgeDentalWaterLabs 4 года назад

Tricia, often the best way to do think about this starts with not thinking about bottle volume at all. What matters is that they are equal parts. So, if you have a little patient cup that you use for rinsing, simply fill one of those with water, and then fill that same cup with water 13 more times. That's assuming you're using bleach with 8% concentrate. If it's 5 or 6%, you'll want to do 1 part water to 9 parts water.

@ProEdgeDentalWaterLabs 4 года назад

If you're still not clear, give us a call and we can walk you through it a bit further - 888.843.3343. We want to make sure you're confident in shocking! It can make a big difference :)

Is bleach in evacuation lines bad?

@ProEdgeDentalWaterLabs 4 года назад

Tricia, yes! You never want to put bleach (or any waterline shock product) down your evacuation lines.

@susanahernandez9325 2 года назад

Do we still flush for 1 minute with cool water filtering the warm water flush?

@ProEdgeDentalWaterLabs 2 года назад

Great question Susana! We recommend that you do. This will help cool the lines and make sure the water is patient ready!

How do you treat if you dont use water bottles?

@ProEdgeDentalWaterLabs Год назад

Hi Pamela, that is an awesome question! For better or worse we strongly recommend retrofitting your chair. There are a tremendous amount of benefits in being able to control water quality directly from the water bottle and of course you have the benefit of being able to shock your dental unit waterlines from the water bottle. It's CDC and OSAP recommended and relatively inexspensive per operatory. You can check out more here if you are interested: proedgedental.com/resources/benefits-of-water-bottles/

@kavityphiller4891 2 года назад

Am I wrong that 1 part bleach to 9 parts water is actually a HIGHER concentration bleach than 1 part bleach to 13 parts water??? If fact, one part bleach to 9 parts water should be 10% bleach solution, right? Part over wholeX100= percentage.

@ProEdgeDentalWaterLabs 2 года назад

Hi Kavity! Thanks for reaching out. Yes, you are correct: 1 part bleach to 9 parts water is a higher bleach concentration over the 1 part bleach 13 parts water. It is a 10% bleach/water solution. If we can provide more resources or information on the shock processes, feel free to schedule a consultation with one of our safe water specialist here: proedgedental.com/consultations-with-proedge-dental-water-labs/ - The Team @ ProEdge

This is assuming that you have a pure 100% bleach to begin with… but that’s not the case with the bleach solutions you buy from outside, they usually range from 5% to 8% bleach and that’s why they do that 1 per 9 and 1 per 13 based on that concentration
