Abstract:Objective
This study aimed to evaluate the impact of 0.05% and 0.12% chlorhexidine (CHX) mouthwashes on the peri-implant pocket microbiota of patients with peri-implantitis.
Materials and methods
We analyzed the microbial composition of peri-implant lesions in 22 patients before and after a 15-day regimen of thrice-daily use of two commercial CHX mouthwashes containing 0.05% (n = 11) and 0.12% CHX (n = 11). Microbial samples were collected using paper points and the taxonomic composition was determined throu… Show more
