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.
