Guaranteed Suction using Science that Works by Alex Bischoff Guaranteed suction is not something that is nice to have. Guaranteed suction is something that every dental practice must have, according to the ADA. Who wants to dig into the details of how a product works? For most of us, especially a busy dental practice, I suggest never! That is until you have a slogging down “pump” attack. We may talk preventative care, but in a busy practice, few have time to think about tomorrow’s issues. The challenges of today are more than enough already! Like with all old solutions that seem to work, recognizing the need for something new does not come easily. There is always that thing in our brain that is afraid to switch. We hope you will enjoy learning about microbiology. Guaranteed suction using an environmentally friendly alternative to chemical cleaners.
Introduction to Microbiology The process by which complex organic compounds, in the presence of water and enzymes, are broken down or transformed into simpler compounds is known as digestion or hydrolysis. Put in layman’s terms, to Soak and Eliminate. Enzymes speed up the union of water with a substance, after which the substance breaks up into fragments. Enzymes are essentially organic catalysts that speed up and alter the rate of chemical reactions. This is done without the catalyst (enzyme) being altered or consumed in the process. Because the enzyme isn't actually consumed in the digestion process, small amounts go a long way. Bio-Pure contains proprietary highly specialized, nonpathogenic strains of microbes selected for their ability
to rapidly digest the organic nutrients broken down by the enzymes. These beneficial microorganisms include both aerobic (with oxygen) and anaerobic (without oxygen) varieties so that digestion will be assured under a variety of conditions and temperatures. BioPure microbes are 100% all natural and safe for people, animals and plants.
How Does it Work? When Bio-Pure is introduced into a waste stream the natural microbes immediately begin to break down the organic waste into bacteria/microbe sized bites. The bacteria/microbes digest these "bites" as described earlier giving them the energy they need to multiply into an active colony of millions of microbes. The continuous growth, in effect, multiplies the digestive capacity of the microbial product. Unlike chemicals and enzymes which change the composition of organic waste and flush it away, microbes see the organic waste as food that they can eat to gain energy and reproduce.
Implications for Trap Hand Cleaning Cleaning chair side traps is possibly the least favorite job in any dental office. In fact I wonder if there could be a worse job you could do before heading home to prepare dinner. Sadly for those of us who are lower on the office totem pole, for as long as patients are treated lying down, someone will have to maintain the evacuation system suction, which means that trap hand cleaning is here to stay.
