Background And Objectives: A randomized, double-blind clinical trial was conducted based on the CONSORT study protocol for randomized clinical trials (NCT06531720) to compare the effectiveness of oral mucosa healing properties of 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX) and 8.7% choline salicylate (CHS), as well as a control group (CON) with no intervention, in patients with delivered partial removable dentures (PRDs).
Materials And Methods: Patients (n = 27) who were enrolled in the study were healthy subjects according to the inclusion/exclusion criteria, and they received new PRDs to complement Kennedy's class III and IV deficiencies. During the process of adaptation to new prosthetic restorations, OMLs were formed and treated with one of two selected preparations, either CHX = 0.2% or CHS = 8.7%, in relation to the control group (CON). The wound surface area (WSA) (mm) was measured on repeatable intraoral images taken in accordance with the examination protocol on the first control visit on day 1, day 3, day 7, day 10, and day 14 with the assistance of computer software.
Results: There were no statistically significant differences between groups. The fastest effect of WSA complete reduction was observed in the CHX group after 7 days (WAS = 0.78, SD = 1.18) in comparison to CHS = 10 days (WAS = 0.44, SD = 0.90) and CON = 14 days (WAS = 0.22, SD = 0.67). The decrease in the WSA after 7 days of observation was 85.1% in the CHX group, 70.1% in the CHS group, and 59.2% in the CON group.
Conclusions: The WSA decreased most rapidly after 7 days of treatment with 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate (CHX), slightly more slowly after 10 days of treatment with 8.7% choline salicylate (CHS), and relatively most slowly in the CON group, who were not treated with any topical medication after 14 days. Oral mucosa lesions (OMLs) therapy during the process of adaptation to new removable prosthetic restorations is a very important element supporting the whole process. Topical medications containing 0.2% chlorhexidine digluconate are indicated as adjunctive therapy in the process of the supportive treatment and disinfection of oral mucosa lesions. However, this does not release the dentist from liability for the careful adjustment of the removable prosthetic restoration.

Alcohol-based antisepsis has shown experimentally to be as effective as 4% chlorhexidine gluconate (CHG) at reducing bacterial counts (colony forming units; CFU) on equine skin. Our objectives were to determine the immediate and post-surgical reduction in CFU/mL on equine skin prepared with CHG-based or 70% isopropyl alcohol (IPA)-based (without CHG) protocols in a clinical setting with arthroscopic surgery. Our hypotheses were that the logCFU/mL reduction would not significantly differ between protocols immediately after preparation or at the end of surgery.

Objectives: This study aimed to investigate the effects of andiz extract on wound healing and compare it with saline and chlorhexidine gluconate. Microbial DNA load was used to evaluate its antibacterial effects, and gene expression methods were used to assess its contribution to cytokine release and wound healing.
Methods And Results: A standardized wound site was created with a 3 mm diameter punch on 32 male Wistar albino rats.

Purpose: This study aimed to compare the effect of povidone iodine (PI) and chlorhexidine gluconate (CG) shower groups on the healing process in cesarean section operations.
Design: Randomized controlled trial.
Methods: Patients were recruited from Gynecology and Obstetrics Hospital in Turkey between February and May 2021.
Purpose: The purpose of this laboratory study was to evaluate common materials for isolation and neutralizing agents for hydrofluoric acid (HF). Additionally, surfaces of lithium disilicate ceramic were examined for precipitates after the etching and neutralizing process.
Materials And Methods: The HF permeability of the following isolation agents (n=8) was investigated by positioning them over pH indicator paper under airtight conditions and applying 9% HF: latex rubber dam; elastic plastomer rubber dam; nitrile gloves; latex gloves; liquid rubber dam; Teflon; AZ strip.
