The oral mucosa is subject to constant physical and chemical insults, resulting in the development of ulcerated lesions that are prone to infection, potentially hindering the healing process.This study conducted an extensive revie..

A recent study compared the efficacy of using 0.5 mg/mL povidone-iodine solution as an irrigant and coolant in reducing postoperative sequelae like swelling, trismus, and pain with the conventional normal saline irrigation during ..

The primary approach to managing peri-implant diseases is through mechanical plaque control. Povidone iodine, a potent and wide-ranging antiseptic, is available in different concentrations. A recent research study examined and com..

A recent review illustrates the role of povidone-iodine (PVP-I) in reducing viral load when incorporated into mouthwash solutions. It consolidated and presented the available literature on mouthwashes containing antimicrobial agen..

Concurrent chemoradiation (CCRT) has traditionally served as the established treatment approach for preserving organ function or locally advanced head and neck cancer (LAHNC). However, one significant challenge associated with thi..

Tooth extraction is a common dental procedure that can be performed either through straightforward or surgical methods. A variety of mouthwashes, including Betadine (povidone-iodine) and Chlorhexidine (CHX), have been used as irri..
