PD Eleazer, GS Schuster, and DR Weathers
University of Louisville, School of Dentistry, Ky 40292, USA.

This article describes a pilot study in which the authors used aerobic bacterial cultures to compare the effects of 1:10 mouthwash, 1:20 mouthwash and 2 percent ethanol in reservoir systems with seven conventional water systems. The long-term, low-concentration antiseptic reduced bacteria to within acceptable limits.
