In this study, we aim to find an effective disinfectant and a cost-effective method to remove bacterioplankton and bacterial biofilm deposited in the negative pressure suction pipelines to control cross infection during dental treatment.</p><p><strong>Methods: </strong>Double-chain quaternary ammonium salt disinfectant (Orotol Plus®), 3% hydrogen peroxide solution plus multi-enzyme cleaning agent and chlorine disinfectant are used to clean and disinfect the negative pressure pipelines of DCUs. Microbiological examinations, air condition detection, corrosion tests and gene sequencing are performed.</p><p><strong>Results: </strong>Little bacteria grow in the pipelines disinfected with double-chain quaternary ammonium salt disinfectants, destruction of biofilms in these pipelines appears, and multi-resistant bacteria cannot be detected.
