“…Therefore, most authors conclude that, excluding the possibility of water uptake, interactions between impression material and disinfectant do not produce significant differences (28,37,40,42,48,53) concerning the accuracy, either short-or long-term, of the record. However, investigations using both dry and wet (water-immersed) controls (18,24,30,31,34,37,48) indicate that chemical interactions may take place during disinfection. For example irreversible hydrocolloids tend to be superficially dissolved or deteriorated by sodium hypochlorite (28,38,41,54) and dehydrated by ethanol (32).…”
