title: Action of chronic peracetic acid (Wofasteril) administration on the rabbit oral mucosa.
abstract: Peracetic acid Wofasteril) is increasingly made use of as a disinfecting fluid. Because of its high effectiveness it has found widespread use in medical practice. The action of Wofasteril on the oral mucosa during long-term action is studied by aid of an "oral tank". After a test period of 11 months peracetic acid only caused a slight ballooning of the superficial layers and enhanced vascularization of the submucous tissue. The results of the experiment suggest the intraoral administration of peracetic acid in oral surgery and stomatology.
