Intérët de la chlorhexidine à 0,12 % et de l’hypochlorite de sodium à 0,5 % en phase pré-opératoire: étude comparative

Abstract

Interest of chlorhexidine 0.12% and sodium hypochlorite 0.5% in preoperative phase: comparative study. In a randomized prospective study, the prophylactic role of two antiseptics belonging to two different families, chlorhexidine digluconate 0.12% and sodium hypochlorite 0.5%, was studied. The population included three groups, of which two have used one of the two mouthwashes 5 days before extraction of the partially erupted mandibular third molar and the third group was a control one. The objective was to determine the effect of two antiseptic products regarding the prevention of post extraction infectious and inflammatory complications. Results were statistically conclusive and the use of these two mouthwashes could be of a great interest mainly in reducing the rate of alveolitis and improving of the postoperative healing for non-surgical extractions of partially erupted mandibular wisdom teeth. © SFCO, 2013.
