Effect of Chlorhexidine on the Hamster Cheek Pouch: Microcirculation and Penetration Studies

Abstract: The application of chlorhexidine gluconate on the intact cheek pouch of hamsters led to an immediate increase of flow velocity determined in venules beneath the epithelium. The application of [14C]chlorhexidine on the intact cheek pouch led to accumulation of labeled material in the liver and kidneys. Both findings indicate that penetration of the drug occurred through the epithelium of the cheek pouch.

“…Although a few studies have demonstrated that CHX does not affect collagen synthesis during wound healing (18) with beneficial effects (19), others state that this drug has a clear delaying effect on granulation tissue formation (20), inducing microcirculatory changes (21), and retarding wound healing (22). Cytotoxic effects of CHX might explain this delayed healing.…”

“…To the authors' knowledge, Sr has not caused mucosal irritation, whereas chlorhexidine has been shown to adsorb on the surface of oral tissues (R6lla et al, 1971), but this is largely reversible. The absorption of chlorhexidine by oral mucosa appears either nil (Davies and Hull, 1973) or very small (Luostarinen et al, 1977).…”
