Postoperative complications after surgical removal of mandibular third molars. Effects of penicillin V and chlorhexidine
Abstract
A random material of 112 patients, was investigated after surgical removal of impacted lower third molars. 2 experimental groups and 1 control group were studied. Prophylactic medication with penicillin V combined with preoperative rinsing using 0.2% chlorhexidine gluconate (Hibitane) was found to reduce postoperative symptoms, when compared with preoperative rinsing alone. In both cases, patients were compared with the control group.
