Article Synopsis
- * Patients often experience severe oral ulcers and difficulty swallowing, which can sometimes be misdiagnosed as other conditions like erythema multiforme or viral infections.
- * The diagnosis involves a combination of clinical observations and lab tests, and the primary treatment is corticosteroids, as evidenced by the case of a 42-year-old man successfully treated for PV.
Introduction: Previous randomized controlled trials have shown that the use of antiseptic mouth rinses not only eradicates oral bacteria but also disrupts their ability to convert nitrate to nitrite, which is the key molecule in regulating blood pressure (BP).
Objective: This study aimed to evaluate the association between the use of mouth rinses and changes in BP.
Methods: The PubMed, Web of Science, EMBASE, Scopus, and Cochrane Library databases were systematically searched from their respective inception dates to 18th December 2022 to identify potential interventional studies with information on the association between the use of mouth rinse and changes in BP.
