A member asked:
I dropped a temp. dental crown down the sink and retrieved it. will washing with soap)water and soaking it in 91% isopropyl alcohol disinfect it well?

Disinfect: It will disinfect it but it won't sterilize it. I recommend you get a new one as soon as possible from your own dentist. At least call and ask what to do. Your dentist has better disinfection methods anyway.
