Abstract
Objective: Tetraacetylethylenediamine (TAED), a denture cleanser was reported to have a risk of acute side effects at high concentrations. This study evaluated residual TAED from denture cleansers after rinsing for different durations. Methods: The rinsing times of denture cleansers were investigated. Specimens made with the denture base-resin were immersed in a denture cleanser and rinsed with running water. The experimental groups were divided based on the rinsing time; G1 was rinsed for 10 s, G2 for 20 s, G3 for 30 s, and G4 for 60 s. No rinsing was performed in the control group. After the elution of TAED from the samples, quantification was performed using high-performance liquid chromatography and mass spectrometry. Results: Seven denture cleansers were investigated; however, the specific rinsing time was not confirmed. Conversely, the control group had a significantly higher amount of TAED (315.4±104.7 ㎍/L), whereas the other groups with > 10 s rinsing time showed significantly decreased residual TAED. Conclusions: To prevent the potential risks of TAED, users should rinse their dentures thoroughly for ≥ 10 s after using a denture cleanser.
