Chlorhexidine spray versus mouthwash in the control of dental plaque after implant surgery

Journal of Clinical Periodontology
Luca FrancettiRoberto Weinstein

Abstract

This randomized clinical trial was aimed at comparing two different means of delivering chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) for plaque control during the 2 weeks following implant surgery. Twenty patients selected for implant therapy were randomly divided into two groups: 10 subjects used 15 ml of 0.12% CHX mouthrinse (control group) and 10 used 0.2% CHX spray (test group). Professional oral hygiene was carried out immediately before surgery. During the 14 days following surgery mechanical oral hygiene was performed only at the teeth not surgically involved. Plaque index (PI), stain index (SI), modified gingival index and taste alteration were assessed on the 7th and 14th day after surgery. The clinical parameters were evaluated at four tooth surfaces by a single examiner. Teeth proximal to surgical site and teeth not involved were statistically compared. In both groups, the PI increased similarly, with respect to the baseline, at days 7 and 14. There was no significant difference between the two groups at either time point. On the contrary, in the control group, the SI increased significantly when compared with baseline over the 14 days both at teeth nearest to surgical sites and at not-involved sites. In the test group pigmentati...Continue Reading

COVID-19

Coronaviruses encompass a large family of viruses that cause the common cold as well as more serious diseases, such as the ongoing outbreak of coronavirus disease 2019 (COVID-19; formally known as 2019-nCoV). Coronaviruses can spread from animals to humans; symptoms include fever, cough, shortness of breath, and breathing difficulties; in more severe cases, infection can lead to death. This feed covers recent research on COVID-19.

Blastomycosis

Blastomycosis fungal infections spread through inhaling Blastomyces dermatitidis spores. Discover the latest research on blastomycosis fungal infections here.

Nuclear Pore Complex in ALS/FTD

Alterations in nucleocytoplasmic transport, controlled by the nuclear pore complex, may be involved in the pathomechanism underlying multiple neurodegenerative diseases including Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis and Frontotemporal Dementia. Here is the latest research on the nuclear pore complex in ALS and FTD.

Applications of Molecular Barcoding

The concept of molecular barcoding is that each original DNA or RNA molecule is attached to a unique sequence barcode. Sequence reads having different barcodes represent different original molecules, while sequence reads having the same barcode are results of PCR duplication from one original molecule. Discover the latest research on molecular barcoding here.

Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Chronic fatigue syndrome is a disease characterized by unexplained disabling fatigue; the pathology of which is incompletely understood. Discover the latest research on chronic fatigue syndrome here.

Evolution of Pluripotency

Pluripotency refers to the ability of a cell to develop into three primary germ cell layers of the embryo. This feed focuses on the mechanisms that underlie the evolution of pluripotency. Here is the latest research.

Position Effect Variegation

Position Effect Variagation occurs when a gene is inactivated due to its positioning near heterochromatic regions within a chromosome. Discover the latest research on Position Effect Variagation here.

STING Receptor Agonists

Stimulator of IFN genes (STING) are a group of transmembrane proteins that are involved in the induction of type I interferon that is important in the innate immune response. The stimulation of STING has been an active area of research in the treatment of cancer and infectious diseases. Here is the latest research on STING receptor agonists.

Microbicide

Microbicides are products that can be applied to vaginal or rectal mucosal surfaces with the goal of preventing, or at least significantly reducing, the transmission of sexually transmitted infections. Here is the latest research on microbicides.
