Effects of a chlorhexidine gluconate oral rinse on the incidence of alveolar osteitis in mandibular third molar surgery

Efficacy of Warm Saline and Chlorhexidine Mouth Rinses in the Prevention of Alveolar Osteitis after Third Molar Surgery: A Comparative Study

“…An overall prevalence of 19.54% was observed. This finding is very much similar to previous studies reporting 20 to 30% prevalence of AO 18,32 and is much more than studies by Swanson 5 and Osunde, 40 who have reported 5%…”

“…The data presented indicates that the oxidized regenerated cellulose ORC, applied only once, post-extraction in the alveolus, decreased alveolitis in a percentage similar to that achieved in other studies (2,16,18,20). The use of the experimental treatment produced a better patient recovery, especially with reference to the buccal aperture and post-extraction edema.…”

“…The number of patients studied, although very small to find statistically significant differences, is sufficient to draw conclusions. In other published studies the numbers of patients included were between 20 and 67 per group, as opposed to 13 and 17 in this study (2)(3)(4)16,17). The mean age of our patients was 27.8 years.…”

Randomized, double-blind study on effectiveness of intra-alveolar chlorhexidine gel in reducing the incidence of alveolar osteitis in mandibular third molar surgery

“…In spite of differences in protocol, all published studies have confirmed the suitability of CHX rinses; protocols included rinsing with CHX only on the day of surgery and using multiple rinses with CHX 1,8,10,12,15,16 . There have been no clinical trials reported on the use of bioadhesive CHX gel placed within the alveolus site for the prevention of AO following the removal of impacted third molars.…”
