Dental prosthesis--residual alcohol content?

Katzgraber,F.; Rabl,W.; Stainer,M.; Wehinger,G.; The possible influence of complete or partial dental prosthesis when detecting breath alcohol by means of the breath alcohol analyser “Alcomat” was investigated in a study. During the study, volunteers were asked to rinse their mouths with different types of alcohol such as beer, wine, schnapps and sweets containing alcohol. No influence of the dental prosthesis on the results could be detected. A dental prosthesis neither prolongs the duration of residual alcohol detection, nor does it affect the period of false positive breath alcohol detection. [Read More]
