[Dental prosthesis--residual alcohol content?].

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. In individual cases the waiting period of 15 minutes between the last alcohol consumption and the breath alcohol test--as legally enforced in Austria--has proved to be too short.

Incisor teeth status in patients with reflux oesophagitis.

A retrospective non-controlled inventory study was done in order to assess the dental status, with specific attention paid to the incisor teeth, in patients with reflux oesophagitis. A questionnaire was sent to 293 consecutive patients in whom reflux oesophagitis was diagnosed endoscopically. A complete dental prosthesis was present in 46.8% of the patients, the remainder had a complete set of teeth or a partial dental prosthesis. Damage in the upper incisors was present in 32.5% of the cases, in the lower incisors in 7.8%, and in both in 26.9%. In the remainder no damage was present. No complaints were significantly associated with the presence or absence of dental damage. There was, however, a significant association between duration of complaints and presence of damage in the upper incisors. Although it is not certain that all cases of damage actually are the result of gastro-oesophageal reflux, and the data presented possibly overestimate the true prevalence, dental erosions as a complication of gastro-oesophageal reflux are likely to occur in a large number of patients.
