The use of oxymetazoline-based nasal solutions to remove bacteria-blood debris and eradicate Rothia dentocariosa: an artificial cavity model study
An over-the-counter nasal solution containing oxymetazoline has the potential to be used off-label to manage surgical bleeding from dental pulp exposures and provide antimicrobial properties against Rothia dentocariosa, a model gram-positive bacteria associated with deep dentinal caries.
