title: In vitro loss of alcohol from tissue conditioners.
abstract: The rate of alcohol loss from two tissue conditioners was investigated by applying them to complete denture record bases and immersing them in water in a sealed container. Samples were taken regularly and analysed by gas chromatography. The alcohol was found to leach out much more quickly than expected with the greatest loss occurring in the first 12 hours and peaking at approximately 60 hours.
