Effect of preoperative chlorhexidine, essential oil, and cetylpyridinium chloride mouthwashes on bacterial contamination during dental implant surgery: A randomized controlled clinical trial.

ABSTRACT:

Background

Although the role of chlorhexidine and other mouthwashes in periodontal therapy has been elucidated, little information is available on their use as routine preoperative mouth rinses before surgery, especially in periodontal procedures such as dental implant surgery.

Objective

This study aimed to compare the efficacy of preoperative chlorhexidine, essential oil, and cetylpyridinium chloride mouthwashes in reducing bacterial contamination at the time of implant placement.

Materials and methods

Eligible patients who underwent dental implant surgery were randomly divided into four groups based on the mouthwash used: (1) 0.12 % chlorhexidine, (2) essential oil, (3) cetylpyridinium chloride, and (4) saline (served as the control group). All the patients of each
