title: The use of warm solutions for more rapid disinfection of prostheses.
abstract: The barrier system of specific sequential steps for cleansing and disinfecting dental prosthesis as they enter and leave the laboratory was tested by comparing the use of room-temperature disinfectants for 10 minutes with warmed chlorine-based disinfectants at decreased immersion times. There were no statistically significant differences between 1- or 2-minute disinfection times using warmed 5.25% sodium hypochlorite, Alcide Expore, and Tetravalent Oxident, and using room-temperature Sporicidin for 10 minutes.
