Chlorhexidine mouthwash

Chlorhexidine mouthwash as an adjunct to mechanical therapy in chronic periodontitis: A meta-analysis

da Costa.et.al -2017

Relevance :

185 in 2024

Conclusion :

Adjunctive use of CHX mouthrinse with mechanical SRP resulted in slightly greater PD reduction than did SRP alone. Clinicians must consider the small additional gain in PD reduction, negligible effect on CAL, and potential for tooth staining when using CHX as an adjunct to SRP in treating chronic periodontitis.
