Low-concentration Povidone-iodine and Normal Saline as Irrigant on Reducing Postoperative Complications after the Third-molar Surgery: A Comparative Study

Comparison of the Effectiveness of Four Different Irrigation Solutions on Postoperative Sequelae in Patients Undergoing Lower Third Molar Surgery: A Prospective Study

“…For the guttering process of impacted tooth removal, an ideal irrigation solution should be readily available, which must be isotonic, biocompatible, non-toxic, and cost-effective [6,7]. The process of irrigating during surgery helps clear the surgical site of blood, bony debris, and foreign objects, leading to better visibility and reduced bacterial presence, which in turn supports better healing [8]. Chlorhexidine is a cationic biguanide with broad-spectrum coverage against both Gram-positive and Gram-negative bacteria.…”
