Chlorhexidine Digluconate (CHX)
What is it?
Chlorhexidine is considered the gold standard antiseptic as it is the most effective.
It is a powerful antiseptic with antiplaque and antibacterial activity. With a broad spectrum and high substantivity, it effectively prevents bacterial recolonisation. Thanks to its multiple concentrations, it covers all phases of periodontal treatment.
Posología
Adjunct to periodontal treatment
Adjunct to active treatment (CHX 0.12%)
It is advisable to rinse twice a day (morning and night) with 15 ml for 30 seconds, after brushing; for a period of between 15 days and 1 month depending on the clinical picture. When used for oral irrigation, it can be diluted in water in the following proportions 1:1, 2:1 or 5:1 (water:mouthwash).
Maintenance (CHX 0.05%)
Rinsing should be done twice a day (morning and night) with 15 ml for 30 seconds, after brushing. It can be used for an extended period of time.
Surgical intervention
Pre-treatment
Before the intervention, it is recommended to rinse with 15 ml for 30 seconds.
Post-treatment
For the first few days following the intervention, rinsing should be done with 15 ml for 30 seconds every 12 hours.
Indications
Adjunct to periodontal and peri-implant treatment. As an aid in the prevention of gingivitis and peri-implant mucositis. In people with excessive formation of oral biofilm (bacterial plaque) and/or high cariogenic activity. In people with a high risk of developing periodontal and peri-implant problems In situations that do not allow for proper toothbrushing
Treatment in pre- and post-surgery:
- Its use as a gel, associated with a surgical toothbrush, reduces the possibility of complications in the healing period and minimises the risk of infections.
- Adjuvant to reduce plaque formation and improve gingival health around implants.
- After extraction, to reduce the risk of alveolitis.
Pacient's Profiles
Person with periodontal or peri-implant disease
Recommended as adjunct to periodontal or peri-implant treatment, with the use of Perio·Aid® chlorhexidine 0.12% + CPC 0.05% to ensure the elimination of pathogenic bacteria causing the disease.
Recommended for periodontal or peri-implant maintenance and control, using a low concentration of Perio·Aid® chlorhexidine 0.05% + CPC 0.05% to help control the bacterial plaque that causes the disease. Allows for continued use, with minimal side effects.
Recommended after periodontal or peri-implant treatment or others, with the use of Perio·Aid® bioadhesive gel chlorhexidine 0.20% and hyaluronic acid, to promote the recovery of the oral mucosa.
Person undergoing surgical extraction
Rinsing prior to the extraction with Perio·Aid® 0.12% Chlorhexidine + 0.05% CPC.
Recommended as an adjunct to treatment with the aim of achieving better antisepsis and thus preventing alveolar osteitis, 24 hours after the extraction.
To aid in healing, Perio·Aid 0.12% Chlorhexidine + 0.05% CPC is recommended to be used 2 times a day for 2 weeks.
Pregnant person with gingivitis
As an adjunct to dental cleaning treatment in the clinic, the use of Perio·Aid® 0.12% Chlorhexidine + 0.05% CPC is recommended twice a day for 2 weeks.
Person with necrotising gingivitis
As an adjunct to treatment, the use of Perio·Aid® 0.12% Chlorhexidine + 0.05% CPC is recommended twice a day for 1-2 weeks to compensate for a lack of oral hygiene due to brushing discomfort.
Older adult with poor dental hygiene
As an adjunct to treatment for in-office dental cleaning, the use of Perio·Aid® 0.05% Chlorhexidine + 0.05% CPC is recommended twice a day until the next check-up to reinforce poor oral hygiene and prevent excessive plaque build-up.
