Abstract

Aim: To evaluate the antibacterial efficacy of oxygen enriched mouthwash compared to chlorhexidine mouthwash in patients undergoing dental implant placement.
Materials and Methods: A total of 30 systemically healthy patients visiting Saveetha Dental College and Hospitals for dental implant placement between July 2022 and October 2022 were divided into two groups; Group A comprised of 15 patients, who were given chlorhexidine mouthwash and Group B composed 15 patients, who were given oxygen enriched mouthwash, postoperatively for 1 month following dental implant placement surgery. Plaque samples were collected prior to implant placement and 1 month after implant placement for both the groups. The collected plaque samples were subjected to real time polymerase chain reaction. Total bacterial copy-count and Porphyromonas gingivalis load were detected for both the groups.
Results: There was reduction in total bacterial copy-count in both the groups from baseline. However, the difference was not statistically significant (p=0.827). However there was more reduction in Porphyromonas gingivalis load among the patients who received oxygen enriched mouthwash and was statistically significant (p=0.000).
Conclusion: Oxygen enriched mouthwash can be used as a safe alternative to chlorhexidine in reducing the microbial load during the post operative healing period following dental implant placement.
